Completing the square

7/2=3.5
3.5^2=12.25
add that to both sides
x<span>²-7x+12.25+3=12.25
factor perfect square
(x-3.5)</span><span>²+3=12.25
minus 3 both sides
(x-3.5)</span><span>²=9.25
square root both sides
x-3.5=+/-√9.25
add 3.5 to both sides
x=3.5+/-√9.25

x=3.5+√9.25 or 3.5-√9.25</span>

Answer:

1.  (3/2)

2. (20)

3. (3)

4. (-9/5)

5. (-8/7)

6. (-2/3), (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.                          2.                        3.                          4.

x         3                   12         3               x           1                x + 3        3

/    =    /                     /     =    /                /    =      /                   /     =     /

4         8                   x           5              9           x                   2           5

8x = 12                    60 = 3x                  x² = 9                      5x + 15 = 6

÷8    ÷8                   ÷3    ÷3                   x = √9                          -15     -15

                                                                                                5x = -9

x = (3/2)                   x = 20                  x = 3                           ÷5    ÷5

                                                                                                  x = (-9/5)

5.                             6.

4 - x          3                   1               x - 3

  /       =     /                   /        =        /

 12            7              2x + 1               9

28 - 7x = 36                   9 = 2x^2 - 5x - 3

-28         -28                 + 3                    + 3

                                     12 = 2x^2 - 5x

-7x = 8                          -12                   -12

÷-7   ÷-7

                                       2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0

x = (-8/7)                      

                                       -b +-√b^2 - 4ac

                                                     /                = -(-5)√-5^2 - 4 (2)(-12)

                                                    2a                                /

                                                                                      2(2)

                                             

                                          = 5-+√121        5 - 11        -6

                                                 /         =        /       =    /       = (-2/3)

                                                -4                 4             4

                                                            =     5 + 11          16

                                                                       /      =       /    = (4)

                                                                      4              4

I hope this helps!

Suppose a box contains 3 defective light bulbs and 12 good bulbs. two bulbs are chosen from the box without replacement. find th
Mademuasel [1]
The probability that the bulb is good is 12/15.
Since we have taken 1 item out the remaining total is now 14, so the probability of getting a defective bulb is now 3/14.
Now you multiply the probabilities together to get (12/15)(3/14)=(4/5)(3/14)=12/70=6/35
