Answer:

5/30 = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information available in this question

Total t shirts I. This laundry basket = 30

15 t shirts = red

5 tshirts = blue

Then white t-shirts would be = 30-(5+15)

= 20

The probability of picking blue t shirt =

Total number of blue t-shirt divided by total number of t shirts

= 5/30

= 1/6 when reduced further as a fraction

Solve the equations for all values of x by completing the square x^2+62=-16x
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

x =  \sqrt{2} - 8\\x =  -\sqrt{2} - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square, we first have to get our equation into ax^2 + bx = c form.

First we add 16x to both sides:

x^2 + 16x + 62 = 0

And now we subtract 62 from both sides.

x^2 + 16x = -62

We now have to add (\frac{b}{2})^2 to both sides of the equation. b is 16, so this value becomes (16\div2)^2 = 8^2 = 64.

x^2 + 16x + 64 = -62+64

We can now write the left side of the equation as a perfect square. We know that x+8 will be the solution because 8\cdot8=64 and 8+8=16.

(x+8)^2 = -62 + 64

We can now take the square root of both sides.

x+8 = \sqrt{-62+64}\\\\ x+8 = \pm \sqrt{2}

We can now isolate x on one side by subtracting 8 from both sides.

x = \pm\sqrt{2} - 8

So our solutions are

x =  \sqrt{2} - 8\\x =  -\sqrt{2} - 8

Hope this helped!
