Paul's age = 6 years + Corinne's age
<span>(Paul's age - 10 years) = 3 times (Corinne's age - 10 years) </span>
<span>Let's rewrite it so it's cleaner: </span>
<span>P = 6 + C </span>
<span>P - 10 = 3(C - 10) </span>
<span>Question is P = ? years. </span>
<span>P = ? = 6 + C </span>
<span>We need to know what C is... the second equation can tell us: </span>
<span>P - 10 = 3C - 30 </span>
<span>P + 20 = 3C </span>
<span>P/3 + 20/3 = C </span>
<span>So now we know what C is... we can replace it into the first equation: </span>
<span>P = 6 + [P/3 + 20/3] </span>
<span>we just need to simplify now... it's easiest to get rid of the fractions first: </span>
<span>3P = 18 + P + 20 </span>
<span>2P = 38 </span>
<span>P = 19 </span>
<span>Answer is Paul's age is now 19 years.</span>
You have to find the parameter first!
prob( it lands on open end) = 8/20 = 2/5
prob ( lands on closed end) = 4/20 = 1/5
The second choice is correct.
Suppose that Aces can be either high or low; that is, that {A, 2, 3, 4, 5} is a straight, and so is {10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace}

Answer:
If OR is exclusive in the question, meaning that Ace can either be high or low but not both would give you 36 possible combinations. However the question isn't exactly stated in a way that makes it easy to interpret this. Your logic is right though, and it could be an error on your sources part. The possible combos are
A 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 6
3 4 5 6 7
4 5 6 7 8
5 6 7 8 9
6 7 8 9 10
7 8 9 10 J
8 9 10 J Q
9 10 J Q K
10 J Q K A
