Answer:
Where's the question?
Step-by-step explanation:
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
All socks together: 13
Black socks: 3
Probability to pick out black socks: 3/13
After one pick out (You picked out a pair of black socks):
Probability to pick out black socks: 2/12
Multiply them:
2/12 * 3/13 = 1/26 ≈ 0,038
No that statement is not always true. There is only one solution to this equation.
