Five cards drawn at random from a 52 card deck. How many ways are there to get 2 red aces and 2 black jacks?

I know I need to use combinations because order doesn't matter, but I cannot figure out values for n and r. Or how to finish the calculation. My answer choices are 864, 216, and 6.

But I would like to know how set up the combination. Not just the answer. I need to be able to do it with different figures on a test.

This is up on the signs on the freeway this morning.

I work with a child who has moved through 2,3,4,5,6 and 7th grade math in 2 years. He has done a marvelous job with it. His parent decided to try and take over the tutoring. Since his parent spent 1 afternoon with him, he has been stuttering all the time. Whether he is working with me or playing with other kids in the school. Is it possible that this could be stress related or is something more organic likely. As far as I know he has never stuttered before, and he is not "looking forward to doing his work with Poppa."

25 Years ago there was a bank in Houston called San Jacinto Savings. They were bought by_______. That bank was bought by Wamu a few years back. What was the name in the middle?

My son hit a curb hard. The front right part of the uni-body, ahead of the wheel well was bent. The car is old and not worth much. Our debate is whether it makes sense or not to even take it for an estimate for straightening or repairing the damage.

I know this cost varies but What does it cost in general to have this done? $400? or $1500? or more?

Does frame straightening ever work-leaving the car without alignment problems?

After a few games, I realized that whenever the ball crossed the mid-line to our side of the field, the defense(?)stoppers, sweepers, and fullbacks(?) would always move up towards the ball leaving the goal almost completely open.

Do I need commas for an appositive here or do I need a colon or semi colon. Please give a rule if it applies.

My sons are having a discussion. They want opinions on the following: If a car was made before car registration laws were passed. Does the car have to be registered? Or are they grandfathered in?

This is regarding the dog that was coughing last night with the question about benadryl. We did not give the benadryl and the dog slept the night, only coughing once early this morning.

Last night we gave him bread to help anything stuck go on down. He ate it eagerly and it did not change the coughing.

My daughter uses him as a demo dog for training (she is an apprentice). The location she trains is at a kennel so contagious illness is a possibility. He is consistently on heartworm meds and has been since he was a few months old.

To me the cough sounds like heart worm, but it seems to have come on too suddenly for that, plus he is on preventative.

He has no runny nose or other symptoms that seem to go with kennel cough. He is not acting sick.

The cough is less frequent this morning, but is still harsh sounding.

We will be taking him to the vet on Monday, but would like to help the cough now if we can.

Any thoughts?

He'll be going to the vet; it does not seem to be an emergency.
