1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a total of 7 + 9 + 2 = 18 balls in the vase, therefore, when not replacing the first ball, there would be 18 · 17 = 306 ways to pull 2 balls. There are 2 ways to choose the first black ball and then 1 way to choose the second black ball so there are 2 · 1 = 2 ways to choose 2 black balls. Therefore, the probability is 2 / 306 = .

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal to solving any equation is to have x = {something}. That means we need to get the x out from underneath that radical. It's a square root, so we can "undo" it by squaring. Square both sides because this is an equation. Squaring both sides gives you
Get everything on one side of the equals sign and set the quadratic equal to 0:
Throw this into the quadratic formula to get that the solutions are x = 5 and -8. We need to see if only one works, both work, or neither work in the original equation.
Does ?
and
and 5 = 5. So 5 works. Let's try -8 now:
and
so
-8 = 8? No it doesn't. So only 5 works. Your choice is the third one down.
