The areas of the circle will represent the population, so:
Area = πr²
5² : 19,465,000
C² : 37,691,000
California circle radius = 6.96 cm
For Texas:
5² : 19,465,000
T² : 25,675,000
Texas circle radius = 5.74 cm
a flat figure with 4 equal straight sides and four right angles
24x^2 +25x - 47 53
----------------------- = -8x -3 - ---------------
ax-2 ax-2
add 53/ax-2 to each side
24x^2 +25x - 47+53
----------------------- = -8x -3
ax-2
24x^2 +25x +6
----------------------- = -8x -3
ax-2
multiply each side by ax-2
24x^2 +25x +6 = (ax-2) (-8x-3)
multiply out the right hand side
24x^2 +25x +6 = -8ax^2 +16x-3ax +6
24 = -8a 25 = 16 -3a
a = -3 9 = -3a
a = -3
Choice B
