The number of possibilities for the first one is 50 choose 5, and the number of possibilities for the second one is 60 choose 6. Since 50 choose 5 is 2118760 and 60 choose 6 is 50063860. There are less possible outcomes for state "A" and therefore you have a higher chance of winning.

solve this problem as a quadratic equation. The difference between two positive numbers is 5. Their product is 104 find the numb
Karolina [17]
Let's call the smaller number x:

y-x=5
xy=104

y-x=5 can be rewritten as y=x+5

Substituting this into the second equation gives:

x(x+5)=104
x^2+5x=104
x^2+5x-104=0

Then simply solve as a quadratic:

x^2+13x-8x-104=0
x(x+13) -8(x+13)=0
(x-8)(x+13) = 0

x=8,-13

the question said the numbers are positive, so x=8

if x=8,

y=x+5
y=13

So the two numbers are 8 and 13.
