Answer:

4951 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If there was 99 students from each state, that would make the total to be:

99 * 50 = 4950

We can use the pigeon hole principle to make this the minimum number required.

The pigeon hole principle basically tells us that if you have more "pigeons" than "holes" then there must be one hole with multiple objects in it.

So, using this idea, we see that:

we need at least 1 more to ensure this

So, min number required would be

4950 + 1 = 4951

What are the solutions to the equation 0 = x2 – x – 6?
ioda
Factor to this equation out, the easiest way is to solve for the two x values that add up to -1 but when multiplied is equal to -6. It should look like this: (x +- ?)(x +- ?). 
The factored out form is then (x - 3)(x +2), because -3 + 2 = -1 and when multiplied together gives -6. 
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
The two solutions are therefore, x = 3 and x = -2. 

Hope it helps
