Answer:

12 trades

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call 'x' the number of trades they will do.

After each trade, the number of cards Ian has increase by 1 (he gives 1 but receives 2), and the number of cards Jason has decrease by 1 (he receives 1 but gives 2), so after x trades, the number of cards Ian has is 20 + x, and Jason has 44 - x.

To find the number of trades when they will have the same amount of cards, we have that:

20 + x = 44 - x

2x = 24

x = 12 trades

Solve using square root method

avanturin [10]

$\frac{1}{2}(x+5)^2 + 9 = -15$

$\frac{(x+5)^2+18}{2} = \frac{-30}{2}$

Cancel out the denominators.

(x+5)² + 18 = -30

(x+5)² = -30 - 18

(x+5)² = -48

The equation is impossible, we have a negative number.

There isn't a number that squared gives a negative number (the square is always positive).

√(x+5)² = +/- √-48

x+5 = +/- √-48

IMPOSSIBLE

You can write the result in imaginary numbers

x+5=+/- 4i√3
