Mixed in a drawer are 44 blue socks, 88 white socks, and 44 gray socks. you pull out two socks, one at a time, without looking. find the probability of getting 2 socks of the same color.

The probability of getting 2 socks of the same color is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the drawer,

Number of blue socks = 4

Number of white socks = 8

Number of gray socks = 4

Total number of socks  = 4 + 8 + 4 = 16

Total ways to select 2 socks form 16 socks is

Total ways to select 2 socks of the same color is

T = Possible ways of (2 blue + 2 white +2 gray) socks

  =

  =

  =

The probability of getting 2 socks of the same color is

Therefore, the probability of getting 2 socks of the same color is 1/3.

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
