Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
let r represent red marbles then white = 2r + 5 and total is 20, thus
r + 2r + 5 = 20 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
3r = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )
r = 5 ← number of red marbles
Thus number of white = 20 - 5 = 15
The solution is 2sqrt77/77. You just fill in 2/3 for the x's. When you do that, you do that you get (2/3)/sqrt(9-[2/3]^2) which, simplified, is (2/3)/sqrt(9-[4/9]). Now use the common denominator under the radical of 9 to get (2/3)/sqrt([81-4]\9). Simplifying even further gives you (2/3)/([sqrt(77)]/3). Now do that division by multiplying 2/3 by the reciprocal of ([sqrt(77)]/3) to get 2/sqrt77. I rationalized the denominator to get that result up there.
