Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 10 balls in the first bag, so P (1 red) = 3/10 and P (1 green) = 7/10. There are a total of 9 balls in the second bag, so P (2 red) = 4/9 and P (2 green) = 5/9. P (1 red & 2 red) = 3/10 * 4/9 = 12/90 = 2/15P (1 red & 2 green) = 3/10 * 5/9 = 15/90 = 1/6P (1 green & 2 red) = 7/10 * 4/9 = 28/90 = 14/45P (1 green & 2 green) = 7/10 * 5/9 = 35/90 = 7/18

I hope you understand it!
