Remember you can do anything to an equation or inequality as long as ou do it to both sides
also, when multiplying by a negative number in an inequality, don't forget to flip the sign

5+5(x+4)<20
minus 5 from both sides
5(x+4)<15
divide both sides by 5
x+4<3
minus 4 from both sides
x<-1

Answer:

<em>" Expected Payoff " ⇒ $ 1.56 ; Type in 1.56</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the steps below;

$Tickets That Can Be Entered - 1 Ticket,\\Total Tickets Entered - 1000 Tickets,\\\\Proportion - 1 / 1000,\\Money One ( First Ticket ) = 820 Dollars,\\Money One ( Second Ticket ) = 740 Dollars,\\\\Proportionality ( First ) - 1 / 1000 = x / 820,\\Proportionality ( Second ) - 1 / 1000 = x / 740\\\\1 / 1000 = x / 820,\\1000 * x = 820,\\x = 820 / 1000,\\x = 0.82,\\\\1 / 1000 = x / 740,\\1000 * x = 740,\\x = 740 / 1000,\\x = 0.74\\\\Conclusion ; " Expected Payoff " = 0.82 + 0.74 = 1.56$
