Tom has 26 marbles. Let x= the amount of marbles Luke has. If Tom has twice as much, the amount of marbles he has is represented as 2x. 2x+x=39. 3x=39. X=13, and since Tom has twice that amount, 13 times 2 is 26! Hope this helped! ;)

Tom has 26 marbles. if you need to show your work it would be 13x2= 26 and 26+13=39

Answer: 2/3

Cathy rolls a number cube that is labeled from 1 to 6.

Total outcomes = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

she rolls an even number or a multiple of 3

Outcomes of an even number = {2,4,6}

Outcomes of multiple of 3 = {3,6}

so favorable outcomes of even number or a multiple of 3 = {2,3,4,6}

Probability ( any event) =number of favorable outcomes divide by total number of outcomes
