Your formula for this is 
and 
. Get everything on one side of the equals sign, set it equal to 0 and factor. When you do this you get (x-3)(x+27). The Zero Product Property rule tells us that either x-3 = 0 or x+27 = 0 and that x = 3 and -27. The only thing in math that will NEVER be negative besides time is distance/length, therefore, x cannot be 27 and has to be 3.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a deck of cart, we have:
a = 4 (aces)
t = 4 (three)
j = 4 (jacks)
And the total number of cards in the deck is
n = 52
So, the probability of drawing an ace as first cart is:
At the second drawing, the ace is not replaced within the deck. So the number of cards left in the deck is
Therefore, the probability of drawing a three at the 2nd draw is
Then, at the third draw, the previous 2 cards are not replaced, so there are now
cards in the deck. So, the probability of drawing a jack is
Therefore, the total probability of drawing an ace, a three and then a jack is:
