Winning the jackpot in a particular lottery requires that you select the correct fivefive numbers between 1 and 2727 and, in a separate drawing, you must also select the correct single number between 1 and 2020. Find the probability of winning the jackpot.

 value of x in terms of p:  x = 15/p  

value of x when p =  -5    -3  

Step-by-step explanation:  part 1:

4(px + 1) = 64   Divide both sides by 4

px + 1 = 16  subtract  1 from both sides

px  = 15  divide both sides by p

x = 15/p

Part 2

x= 15/-5 substitute  the given  -5 for p

x = -3

Alternate way

4(-5x +1) = 64

-20x + 4 = 64   distribute

-20x = 60  subtract 4 from both sides then divide by -20

x = -3  Same result.
