I have two bags of marbles, each of which contains some red marbles and some blue marbles (and no marbles of any other color). The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in the first bag is $3:5.$ The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in the second bag is $3:2.$ When the two bags of marbles are mixed together, the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is $11:9.$ What is the ratio of the number of marbles in the first bag to the number of marbles in the second bag?
========================================================
Explanation:
Let x and y be two positive whole numbers. They may or may not be equal.
The first bag has the ratio of red to blue as 3:5, which scales up to 3x:5x after multiplying both parts by x. We have 3x red and 5x blue.
The second bag has the ratio 3:2 which scales up to 3y:2y. This bag has 3y red and 2y blue.
We can make a handy table to keep track of all the expressions
[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}\cline{1-3}\text{ } & \text{Red} & \text{Blue}\\ \cline{1-3}\text{bag 1} & 3x & 5x\\ \cline{1-3}\text{bag 2} & 3y & 2y\\ \cline{1-3}\end{array}[/tex]
Based on that, we can then say:
The two red quantities add to R = 3x+3yThe two blue quantities add to B = 5x+2yEffectively, I added down along each column of that table.
Divide the two expressions for R and B to lead to the fraction 11/9, which is directly from the ratio 11:9
So,
(total red)/(total blue) = 11/9
R/B = 11/9
(3x+3y)/(5x+2y) = 11/9
---------------------
Let's cross multiply and then solve for y
(3x+3y)/(5x+2y) = 11/9
9(3x+3y) = 11(5x+2y)
27x+27y = 55x+22y
27y-22y = 55x-27x
5y = 28x
y = 28x/5
y = (28/5)x
y = 5.6x
We'll keep this in mind for later.
---------------------
Now let:
F = amount of marbles in the first bagS = amount of marbles in the second bagRecall that we had 3x red and 5x blue for the first bag. That means we have 3x+5x = 8x marbles in the first bag. Therefore, F = 8x.
Also, we had 3y red and 2y blue for the second bag.
So we have S = 3y+2y = 5y
Then we can apply further substitution to say
S = 5y
S = 5(5.6x) .... plug in y = 5.6x
S = 28x
---------------------
In short,
F = 8xS = 28xfor some positive whole number x. We don't have enough info to pin down what x is exactly; however, it doesn't really matter. This is because the x variable will cancel when dividing F over S
F/S = (8x)/(28x) = 8/28 = 2/7
The fraction 2/7 leads directly to the final answer of the ratio 2:7
In other words, the ratio 8x:28x simplifies fully to 2:7 after dividing both parts by 4x.
The ratio between the total marbles of the first bag and the second bag is 2:7.
What is an equation?An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.
Example:
2x + 4 = 9 is an equation.
We have,
x marbles in the first bag.
red marbles = 3x
blue marbles = 5x
y marbles in the second bag.
red marbles = 3y
blue marbles = 2y
Now,
Total red marbles in both bags.
3x + 3y = 11 _____(1)
3x = 11 - 3y
x = (11 - 3y) / 3
Total blue marbles in both bags.
5x + 2y = 9 ______(2)
From (1) and (2) we get,
Multiply 2 in (1).
6x + 6y = 22
6y = 22 - 6x _____(3)
Multiply 3 in (2)
15x + 6y = 27 ______(4)
Putting (3) in (4)
15x + 22 - 6x = 27
9x = 27 - 22
9x = 5
x = 5/9
Now,
x = 5/9 in (3)
6y = 22 - 6(5/9)
6y = 22 - 10/3
6y = (66 - 10)/3
y = 56/18
y = 28/9
Now,
First bag.
Red marbles = 3x = 3 x 5/9 = 5/3
Blue marbles = 5x = 5 x 5/9 = 25/9
Total marbles = 5/3 + 25/9 = (15 + 25)/9 = 40/9
Second bag.
Red marbles = 3y = 3 x 28/9 = 28/3
Blue marbles = 2y = 2 x 28/9 = 56/9
Total marbles = 28/3 + 56/9 = (84 + 56)/9 = 140/9
Now,
The ratio between the total marbles of the first bag and the second bag.
= 40 :140
= 4:14
= 2:7
Thus,
The ratio is 2:7.

6[y-2]/7-12=2[y-7]/3
Answer:
y =47.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
First eliminate the fractions by multiplying through by the LCM of 7 and 3 which is 21:
21* 6[y-2]/7-21*12 = 21*2[y-7]/3
18(y - 2) - 252 = 14(y - 7)

4y = 190
y = 190/4
y = 47.5.

1. When I add 6 to five times my number I get 36. My mystery number is ....
2. When I add 7 to three times my number I get 43. My mystery number is....
Answer:
1) 6 & 2)12
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the equations backwards-
1) Subtract 6 from 36, and then divide by 5.
36 = 6 + 5x
(36 - 6)/5 = x
x = 6
2) Subtract 7 from 43, and then divide by 3.
43 = 7 + 3y
(43 - 7)/3 = y
y = 12

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,1) and has a
slope of 1?
Answer:
y = x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
If the slope is 1, the original equation is y = mx + b, with m being 1.
Now substitute -6 and 1 for x and y and solve for b
1 = 1(-6) + b
1 = -6 + b
7 = b
Put it all together:
y = x + 7

Caleb decreases a number by 6 and then multiplies it by 2. He gets the same answer as
when he subtracts 8 from the original number. What is the number?
please answer!!
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation: If Caleb starts with 4 and subtracts 6, he'll get -2. -2 times 2, equals -4. If he starts with 4 and subtracts 8, he'll again end up with -4, meaning the original number is 4!
4-6= (-2)
-2*2= (-4)

5/6+3/4+2/3 answer please
Answer:
2.25
Explanation
2/3 can be made into 4/6 then added to 5/6
Grab 5/6 and add it to 3/4, we do this by making them have the same bottom number (denominator) so we multiply 9/6 (4/6 + 5/6) by 2 (both top and bottom number) so now we have 18/12 + 4/6 so now we can make 4 be 12 by multiplying it by 3, but we need to do that to the top number as well to make it balanced, so now we have 18/12 + 9/12 and we get 27/12 or 2.25.
