The ratio of red marbles to green marbles, [tex]r:g=5:7[/tex]
The first sentence about what happens to the bag of marbles;
"When one red marble is removed and one green marble added, the ratio of red to green marbles is now 2:3"
Leads to the fractional equation
[tex]\frac{r-1}{g+1}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
After rearranging, we get equation (1) [tex]3r-2g=5[/tex]
The next sentence about what happens to the bag of marbles;
"Subsequently, 6 red marbles and 4 green marbles are added, such that the ratio of red to green marbles is now 3:4"
Leads to the fractional equation
[tex]\frac{r-1+6}{g+1+4}=\frac{3}{4}\implies \frac{r+5}{g+5}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Since the first change to the bag was done without replacement. After rearranging, we get equation (2) [tex]4r-3g=-5[/tex]
So we need to solve the simultaneous equations for [tex]r[/tex] and [tex]g[/tex]
[tex]3r-2g=5\\4r-3g=-5[/tex]
Which gives [tex]r=25[/tex] and [tex]g=35[/tex]
Therefore, the ratio, [tex]r:g=25:35=5:7[/tex]
