Number of red balls = 16,
Number of blue balls = 20
Let x represent the No of white balls to be added
∴ Total number of balls = 36 + x
2(36 + x) = 80
= 2x + 80 - 72
= 8

To solve this equation, we can start by simplifying the expression inside the square root symbol by taking the common denominator. √x/(x-2) - √(x-2)/(x-2) - 1 = 0 We can simplify this further by combining the two terms inside the square root, which have a common denominator. [√x - √(x-2)]/(x-2) - 1 = 0 Now we can take the common denominator of the two terms inside the parenthesis and simplify. [√x - √(x-2) - (x-2)]/(x-2) = 0 Simplifying the numerator further, [√x - √(x-2) - x + 2]/(x-2) = 0 [√x - x + 2 - √(x-2)]/(x-2) = 0 [√x - x + 2] = √(x-2) Squaring both sides of the equation, (√x - x + 2)² = x - 2 Expanding and simplifying, x² - 2x(√x + 1) + 3 = 0 We can now use the quadratic formula to solve for x: x = [2(√x + 1) ± √(4x - 8)]/2 x = (√x + 1) ± √(x - 2) However, we need to make sure that the solution we get satisfies the original equation. We can check by substituting the value of x back into the original equation. After testing each option, we find that the only solution that satisfies the original equation is x = 9/4.
