There are 52 cards in a deck.

First we find the probability of drawing a 2

There are 4 cards that shows 2

Probability of drawing a 2 card fro 52 cards = 4 / 52

We know that P( not A) = 1 - P(A)

So the probability (not dealt a 2) = 1 - probability (dealt a 2)

= 1 - 4/52

= (52 - 4)/ 52 = 48/52

Now we simplify the fraction

48/ 52 = 12/13

Hence, the probability( not dealt a 2) = 12/13

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not given the value of P, |Q|, R and S, we can as well assume values for them for the sake of this question.

Let P = 5, |Q| = 6, R =7 |S| = 2

Note that since Q and S are in modulus sign, they can return both positive and negative values.

P+Q = 5 + 6 (note that the positive value of Q is used since we need the greatest value of P+Q)

P+Q = 11

Hence the greatest value of P+Q is 11

For the least value of P+Q, we will use the negative value of Q as shown

P+Q = 5+(-6)

P+Q = 5-6

P+Q = -1

Hence the least value of P+Q is -1

Similarly:

R+S = 7 + 2 (note that the positive value of S is used since we need the greatest value of R+S)

R+S = 9

Hence the greatest value of R+S is 9

For the least value of R+S, we will use the negative value of S as shown

R+S = 5+(-2)

R+S = 5-3

R+S = 2

Hence the least value of P+Q is 2

NOTE THAT THIS ARE ASSUMED VALUES. ALL YOU NEED IS TO PLUG IN THE VALUES OF P, Q and R THAT YOU HAVE IN CASE THE VALUES DIFFERS.

Answer:

D. 18.68

Step-by-step explanation:

$27\div \frac{5}{3}-6+53\times (\frac{2}{5})^2$

Applying PEMDAS as order of operations.

Solving the exponents first $[(\frac{2}{5})^2=\frac{4}{25}]$

$=27\div \frac{5}{3}-6+53\times \frac{4}{25}$

Multiplying $[53\times \frac{4}{25}=8.48]$

$=27\div \frac{5}{3}-6+8.48$

Dividing $[27\div \frac{5}{3}=16.2]$

$=16.2-6+8.48$

Adding and subtracting.

$=18.68$

If RS = 17, ST = x + 6, and RT = 3x - 5, What is ST.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

ST = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment RS and segment ST must add up to line segment RT

Step 1: Define

RS = 17

ST = x + 6

RT = 3x - 5

Step 2: Set up equation

mRS + mST = mRT

17 + x + 6 = 3x - 5

Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>

x + 23 = 3x - 5

23 = 2x - 5

28 = 2x

x = 14

Step 3: Find mST

ST = x + 6

ST = 14 + 6

ST = 20

-3(5x + 6) + 2 = 2(8 + 8x) - 1

bija089 [108]

So first, we multiply out the brackets.
-15x - 18 + 2 = 17 + 16x -1
Then, bring all the terms onto one side so you can solve.
-15x-18+2-17-16x+1=0
Then, we simplify this.
-31x-32=0
Then, isolate x
-31x=32
x=32/-31 or -1.03 (nearest hundredth )
