Since x is our unknown number, on one side of our equation we will have the "<span>Subtracting two times a number from 10", and on the other will be -3. So,
-3=10-2x</span>

sorry for the mistake
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.
N = N (1+0.20)^5
o
Here, that'd be 10000(1.20)^5, or 24883 trees.
X = 2
y = 1
You can get this by replacing the y in the second equation with the 3x - 5 from the first. Then solve for x. Once you have that value, you can solve for y.
