Answer:

X + Y + Z = 32

X2 = Y

X3 + 2 = Z

X + X2 + X3 + 2 = 32

Make X alone

There is a 2 so we subtract 2 from both sides

X + X2 + X3 = 30

Add the X's up

X + X2 + X3 = X6

X6 = 30

Divide by 6

30 / 6 = 5

You are left with X=5

The first piece of wood has a length of 5

5 x 2 = 10

The second piece has a value of 10

5 x 3 + 2 = 17

The third piece is 17

Hope this helps. If you have any questions you may ask.

We have to find the expected value for the PlayBall lottery. 
The price of the ticket = $1
Prize amount = $250
If a player wins, he will be winning $249 as the price is not paid back along with the prize amount. He is spending $1, getting back $250, so the net amount he is getting back is $249.

Now we have to find the probability of winning and losing.

Number of letters from A to T = 20
Number of digits from 0 to 9 = 10

Probability of picking up the same letter that was picked on that day = 1/20
Probability of picking up the same number that was picked on that day = 1/10

Thus, the Probability of picking up the same letter and same number that was picked on that day = \frac{1}{20}* \frac{1}{10}= \frac{1}{200}

Thus, the probability of winning = 1/200

The probability of losing = 1- \frac{1}{200}=\frac{199}{200}

The expected value E for the PlayBall lottery will be:

E= \frac{1}{200}(249)- \frac{199}{200}(1) \\  \\ 
E= \frac{1}{4}  \\  \\ 
E=0.25

Thus, the option C gives the correct answer
