Answer:

P(a pair with matching cards in different suits) = 1/52

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that there are 4 suites and each suit has 13 different cards. This is a total of 52 cards.

Thus;

Probability of selecting one card of a particular suit = 13/52 = 1/4

If we now want to select a matching card of another suit without replacing the first one, then, we now have; 52 - 13 = 39 cards. Now, there are only 3 matching cards of the 3 remaining suits that is same as the first card drawn.

Thus; probability = 3/39 = 1/13

Thus;

P(a pair with matching cards in different suits) = 1/4 × 1/13

P(a pair with matching cards in different suits) = 1/52

Lin solved the equation 8 (x - 3) +7= 2x (4 - 17) incorrectly.
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Her final answer should have been x = 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her 2 errors were that she didn't distribute the 2x to both 4 and -17 and that she made the 13 positive instead of negative when she added 4 and -17 together.

Correct solution:

8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)

8x-24+7=8x-34x

-17=-34x

The negatives on both sides cancel each other out

x = 1/2
