The tree diagram shows that there are a total of six sample
spaces.
math------science
art
science---math
art---math

Based on the tree
diagram, the probability that the science project is first is two over six.
This is because science appears first in two out of the six sample spaces (boldened).
First off, do a prime factoring of the constant and leading coefficient, namely 9 and 8 respectively.
so a prime factoring of 8 is 2*2*2, and a prime factoring of 9 is 3*3.
so, those are the factors... now, how do we produce products that gives us the middle coefficient +18?
well, let's see hmmmm 2 * 3 * 3 and 2 * 3....so that's 18 + 6, that's 24.. .so... no good is not 18, let's try again.
2*2*3 and 2 * 3, so that's 12 + 6, now, that's +18
so we'll use those, 2*2*3 and 2*3, or 4 * 3 an 2 * 3, (4x + 3)(2x + 3) = 0.
Answer:
10:6=10*7:6*7
10:6=70:42
70+42=112
White ball 70 and striped balls 42
