Find all product of real values that satisfy the equation

Cross multiply:


Subtract 7 from both sides


Reorder

Multiply through by -1

The above represents a quadratic equation and as such could take either of the following conditions.
(1) No real roots:
This possibility does not apply in this case as such, would not be considered.
(2) One real root
This is true if

For a quadratic equation

By comparison with 



Substitute these values in 


Add 56 to both sides


Divide through by 4

Take square roots


Hence, the possible values of r are:
or 
and the product is:


1.) First plug in the values for m and A:

--> 
Isolate b: 
b = 1999
So your answer is the first option.
2.) Admission costs $5.25, so even if you don't go on any rides, you will still have to pay $5.25. This means that for this problem, 5.25 will be the b value. If each ride costs $2.50, then this means it is $2.50x for the cost of x rides. The total cost will then be
