(2/3)*x - (1/2)*x = 3
*make common denominators
(2*2)/(2*3)*x - (3*1)/(3*2)*x = 3
(4/6)*x - (3/6)*x = 3
(1/6)*x = 3
x = 3*(6/1)
x = 3*6
x = 18 gallons of gas
irrational
irrational because it keeps on going on forever!
Okay, so let's make a sample space where in one section, one toy is the leader of each group for as many possibilities as there are.
T K E
T E K
K E T
K T E
E T K
E K T
There are 6 possibilities, and so each arrangement has a 1 over 6 chance of being used.
