Answer 2

Answer: a = 9, b = 48, c = -1

Explanation:

"a" represents the points you receive if an Ace is picked. It is given that you get 9 points ----> a = 9

"b" represents the number of cards that are Not an Ace. 4 cards in the deck are Aces so 52 - 4 = 48 cards are Not an Ace -----> b = 48

"c" represents the points you receive if Not an Ace is picked. It is given that you lose 1 point ----> c = -1
