X + x + 3(2+x)= 36
2x + 6 + 3x = 36
5x + 6 = 36
5x = 36 - 6
5x = 30
x = 6
Longer piece = 2 + 6 = 8inches
Answer:
3 cars
Step-by-step explanation:
If 12 cars are needed to carry 36 students,
<em>12</em><em>c</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>s</em><em> = 36</em>
the number of cars to carry 9 students will be:
xcars = 9
cross the two equations
36x = 12 X 9
36x = 108
x = 108/36
x= 3
Therefore, 3 cars are needed to carry 9 students
OR
12 cars will carry 36 students
so 1 car will carry, (36/12)students
therefore, 1 car will carry 3 students
So, for 9 students,
9students = 9/3 = 3
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Flipping a coin and rolling a number cube are both independent events. Independent events do not rely on the outcome of any previous events. This means that whatever you flip on the coin will have no effect on whatever you roll on the number cube and each flip of the coin or roll of the cube has the same probability as the flip or roll before.
The probability of getting tails on a coin toss is: 
The probability of getting a number less than 3 (so 1 or 2) on a number cube is: 
Since we are combining these events, we need to multiply the fractions together to get our overall probability:
*
=
