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.
This is your answer (x-a).g(a)
C. 10. you can calculate this by adding n to both sides to get 35=25+n and then subtracting 25 from each side to get n=10.
Steps to solve:
-6w - 8 + 15w = 2w - 8 + 7w
~Combine like terms
9w - 8 = 9w - 8
~Add 8 to both sides
9w = 9w
~Divide 9 to both sides
0 = 0
All real numbers are solutions.

Best of Luck!
You have to divide. 1500/25 = 60
