Answer:
a. 20x > 10x + 80
b. •20x > 10x + 80
• Subtract 10x from both sides: 20x -10x > 10x + 80 - 10x
• Simplify: 10x > 80
• Divide both sides by 10: 10x/10 > 80/10
• Simplify: x > 8
Step-by-step explanation:
10x + 80 = number of seashells Pilar has.
20x = number of seashells Marisol has.
answer for a: 20x > 10x + 80
answer for b: 20x > 10x + 80
• Subtract 10x from both sides: 20x -10x > 10x + 80 - 10x
• Simplify: 10x > 80
• Divide both sides by 10: 10x/10 > 80/10
• Simplify: x > 8
When you first pick a ticket, there are 2 winning tickets and 40 total tickets. This means that there is a 2/40 chance of your ticket being a winning one. This fraction can be reduced to 1/20.
After this, there will be 1 winning ticket left and 39 total tickets. There is a 1/39 chance of the next ticket being a winning one. We multiply these two fractions together to get our answer. 1/20 * 1/39 = 1/780, so there is a 1/780 chance of having 2 winning tickets.
