There are 12 marbles in a bag, and the marbles are either yellow or green. two marbles will be randomly picked from the bag, without replacing the first one picked. the probability that both marbles will be yellow is 5 33 . how many yellow marbles are in the bag?

7 green, 5 yellow. Just worked backwards. C(12,2) = 66, so probability given is also 10/66 

If there are x yellow marbles, then C(x,2)•C(12-x,0)/C(12,2) = 10/66. Thus C(x, 2) = 10, so x = 5 = yellows. So greens = 12–5 = 7

Answerthe simplified expression isexplanationthe given expression is,let us deal with the bracket first.the two negatives in the parenthesis will become positive.the expression now becomes,we now expand the parenthesis to get,we group like terms to obtain,this simplifies to,
