the correct answer is B &/or D, hope this helped (:
Let 'c' represent the number of pictures Chelsea took.
Let 's' represent the number of pictures Sonya took.
For last year's Thanksgiving, c + s = 236
For this year's Thanksgiving, let 'x' represent the number of photos taken in total. x = c + s, where c and s are two integers that are the same (c = s).
And we know that for both years, c + s + x = 500.
As we know that c + s is already 236 from last year, we can remove c + s from the equation in bold and replace it with 236 instead.
236 + x = 500.
Now we have to isolate the x term.
x = 500 - 236
x = 264.
We know that x = c + s, where c and s are the same, so we can just use one of the variables and double it (so you either get 2c or 2s - it doesn't matter which one you pick because they're both the same).
2c = 264
c = 132
c = s
s = 132.
Both took 132 pictures this year.
↝ Form into 
where a > 0 (Optional)
↝ Multiply -1 for both sides.
↝ Then proceed with the Quadratic Formula.
x = [-b ± (√b²-4ac)]/2a ↝ Quadratic Formula
↝ As you can see that inside the square root, the numbers cannot be negative. Therefore, the solutions are imaginary.
↝ Solution with Real Numbers System ↝ There are no real solutions.
↝ Solution with Complex Number System ↝
Therefore, the answer for Complex Number System is (5±√7i)/2
Factorization is the process of breaking an integer down into its components or divisors, and further calculation can be defined as follows:
