Answer:

unlikely

Explanation:

There are 10 marbles altogether, 5 are yellow, 2 are blue, and 3 are random.

There are 3 more yellow marbles than blue marbles.

There is 1 more random marble than blue marbles.

Therefore, it is unlikely Jerome will get a blue marble.

(I just realized you asked for an Alegbra expression.. sorry)
