On paper, use the completing the square method to solve the equation x^2 + 16x + 2. can anyone me with this?

x = -8 ± √62

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation needs an equals sign.  I assume the expression equals zero?

x² + 16x + 2 = 0

To complete the square, start by making the leading coefficient 1 (which it already is).

Next, take half of the b coefficient, square it, and add the result to both sides.

(16/2)² = 8² = 64

x² + 16x + 64 + 2 = 64

Factor the perfect square:

(x + 8)² + 2 = 64

Solve for x:

(x + 8)² = 62

x + 8 = ±√62

x = -8 ± √62

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.

step-by-step explanation:

3/20

step-by-step explanation:

well, there are 20 outcomes, and 3 of them you want. so, 3/20
