Answer: 12.

To solve this problem, let's first solve for x. Thi is easiest done by figuring what QR is in terms of x using two equations, both from different lines.

In the first line:
QR = 15 - 4x.

In the third line:
QR = 13x - 1 - x = 12x - 1.

Now, we have to set these equations equal to each other.
15 - 4x = 12x - 1
15 = 16x - 1
16x = 16
x = 1

Next, we take line three, 13x - 1, and substitute x as 1. The answer is 12.

Answer:

Lose $0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 38 possible spots on the roulette wheel (numbers 1 to 36, 0 and 00).

If the player can choose four numbers on single $1 bet, his chances of winning (W) and losing (L) are as follows:

$P(W) = \frac{4}{38} \\P(L) = 1-P(W) = 1-\frac{4}{38} \\P(L) = \frac{34}{38}$

The expected value of the bet is given by the probability of winning multiplied by the payout ($8), minus the probability of losing multiplied by the bet cost ($1)

$EV=\frac{4}{38}*\$8 -\frac{34}{38}*\$1\\EV= -\$0.05$
