Answer:
total no of balls = 4+6+x=10+×
2/3 = x/10 + x
20 +2x = 3x
3x-2x=20
x=20
Therefore , no.of white balls =20

Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of white balls be n
Total number of balls = 4+6+n= 10 + n
P[drawing red ball] = 4/10 + n
P[Drawing green ball] = 6/10 + n
P[Drawing white ball] = n/10 + n
P[Not drawing white ball]= 2/3[already given]
P [ Drawing white ball] = 1-2/3
= 1/3
therefore,we have :
n/10 + n = 1/3
Solve this equation to get the value of n,that is,the value of white balls
