Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
2|2x−2|=16Divide both sides of the equation by 2.
|2x−2|=8Set 2x-2 equal to positive and negative 8.
2x−2=8,2x−2=−8Solve both equations for x.
x=5,−3

2|2x − 2| + 4 = 20.
2|2x − 2| = 20.- 4
2|2x − 2| = 16
|2x − 2| =8

That means:
1st: 2x-2 = 8 and 2nd: 2x - 2 = -8
1st: 2x=10 and x = 5

2nd 2x-2=-8, 2x = -6 and x = -3

So x = 5 and x = -3 (1st answer)

find the probability of being delt 5 clubs and 3 cards with one of each remaining suit in 8 card poker

kumpel [21]

Answer: 0.003757(approx).

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of combinations of selecting r things out of n things is given by:-

$^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Total cards in a deck = 52

Total number of ways of choosing 8 cards out of 52 = $^{52}C_8$

Total number of ways to choose 5 clubs and 3 cards with one of each remaining suit = $^{13}C_5\times^{13}C_1\times^{13}C_1\times^{13}C_1$ [since 1 suit has 13 cards]
