    = 18 red marbles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x be the number of red marbles that must be added

    Therefore;

    New number or red marbles = x+12

    Total marbles will be x+32

    Thus;

    The probability of selecting a red marble = (x+12) / (x+32)

    Therefore;

    (x+12) / (x+32) = 3/5

    5 (x+12) = 3 (x+32)

    5x+60+3x+96

    2x=36

    x=18
