<h3>Answer:  17 and 19</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

x = some integer

2x = even integer

2x+1 = odd integer

(2x+1)+2 = 2x+3 = odd integer just after 2x+1

The integers 2x+1 and 2x+3 add to 36

(2x+1)+(2x+3) = 36

2x+2x+1+3 = 36

4x+4 = 36

4x+4-4 = 36-4 ... subtract 4 from both sides

4x = 32

4x/4 = 32/4 .... divide both sides by 4

x = 8

With x = 8, we can say

2x+1 = 2*8+1 = 17 is the first odd integer

2x+3 = 2*8+3 = 19 is the next odd integer

17+19 = 36, so the answer is confirmed

--------------------

A non-algebraic way to get the answer is to divide 36 in half to get 18

Then try odd integers around 18, so 19+21 = 40 but thats too high

then maybe try 15+17 = 32, thats too low

17+19 = 36 is right on the money

Answer:

Part 3: 9 Dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

It says that the ratio they want you to put it in is dogs/students, so dogs are x, and students are y, so if there are 4 students for every dog, 36 students would require 9 dogs

And if the roles were switched it would be students x, dogs y, and there would be 9 students for 36 dogs :D

If A and B are independent events, P(A and B) =​
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

<u>If A and B are independent events, P(A and B) =​ P (A) * P (B)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that independent events means that when one event occurs, it has no impact or influence on the probability of another event occurring. Here’s an example. Let’s say that we have two events, A and B.  

Event A : it rains in Seattle

Event B : the Super Bowl match is cancelled in Miami

The two events are independent; if it rains in Seattle, this will have no impact on the probability that the Super Bowl match is cancelled in Miami. Raining in Seattle and the cancellation of the Super Bowl are independent events, therefore:

<u>P(A and B) =​ P (A) * P (B)</u>
