There are \binom{52}4 ways of drawing a 4-card hand, where

\dbinom nk = \dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

is the so-called binomial coefficient.

There are 13 different card values, of which we want the hand to represent 4 values, so there are \binom{13}4 ways of meeting this requirement.

For each card value, there are 4 choices of suit, of which we only pick 1, so there are \binom41 ways of picking a card of any given value. We draw 4 cards from the deck, so there are \binom41^4 possible hands in which each card has a different value.

Then there are \binom{13}4 \binom41^4 total hands in which all 4 cards have distinct values, and the probability of drawing such a hand is

\dfrac{\dbinom{13}4 \dbinom41^4}{\dbinom{52}4} = \boxed{\dfrac{2816}{4165}} \approx 0.6761

Solve for x. <br> 3x = 6x - 2
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

x =  \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

3x=6x-2

Subtract '3x' from both sides

0=3x-2

Add '2' to both sides

2=3x

Divide by 3

x=2/3

If you need the answer in decimal form divide 2 by 3
