im pretty sure that b) is 208. 4/52 cards are aces therefore 4/52 x 2704 should give you the answer
think u then divide the answer by two as you only need two cards

I don't do general, but anyways here

Answers for A and B are the same, but the calculation below is for (B).
P(AA) = (4/52 x 4/52) x 2704 = 16

a) 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16. 2704 x 1/16 = 169. I think thats how you do it.

Perfect timing. Topic AM3 Algebra - the answer for this is x = 6.
This probably sounds stupid, but how do you solve it?

I have another question, can someone help me with this question: image.jpg
I just don't understand the concept of it, I get the method when I see the answer, but not the concept of it.
