100/1200= x/100
cross multiply

(1200 * x)= (100 * 100)

1200x= 10000
divide both sides by 1200

x= 8.333% winning chance

LOSING CHANCE
100% - 8.333%= 91.667%

RATIO OF WINNING TO LOSING
100 tickets= winning chance
1200 total - 100= 1100 losing chance

100:1100
simplify by 100

1:11 odds of winning to losing

ANSWER: The chance of winning is 8.333% and the chance of losing is 91.667% or 1:11.

Hope this helps! :)

When x2+3x-4 is subtracted from x (x2+3x-2) what is the difference

tankabanditka [31]

I'm assuming this is x^2 + 3x - 4 and x(x^2 + 3x - 2)

1.) First distribute x(x^2 + 3x - 2) to get x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x.

2.) Because you are subtracting all the terms from x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x, it's the same thing as distributing -1 to x^2 + 3x - 4 and then adding it to x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x.

3.) -1(x^2 + 3x - 4) = -x^2 - 3x + 4

4.) Add (x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x) + (-x^2 - 3x + 4)

5.) x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x + 4 is your final answer.

The expression (x-6)2is equivalent to

Marizza181 [45]

(x - 6) * 2

I'm assuming this is the expression that you typed out, if it isn't, please let me know in the comments :)

Use the distributive property:

= 2(x) - 2(6)

Multiply and simplify

= 2x - 12

This should be the expression that is equivalent to the original. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

One antifreeze solution is 20% alcohol. Another antifreeze solution is 12% alcohol. How many liters of each solution should be c

katrin [286]

Use this systems of equations to solve:

x = first antifreeze
y = second antifreeze

$\left \{ {{.2x + .12y = .18(15)} \atop {x + y = 15}} \right.$

Isolate y.

x + y = 15
Subtract x from both sides.
y = -x + 15

Substitute y into the other equation.

.2x + .12(-x + 15) = .18(15)
Simplify.
.2x - .12x + 1.8 = 2.7
Subtract 1.8 from both sides.
.08x = .9
Divide both sides by .08
x = 11.25

Substitute x in the equation that we isolated y in.

y = -11.25 + 15
y = 3.75

11.25 L of the first antifreeze and 3.75 L of the second.
