Let x = state b , then x + 2 = state a
now: x + (x +2) = 9090 or 2x + 2 = 9090 Solving this equation:
2x + 2 = 9090 subtract 2 from both sides
2x = 9088 divide both sides by 2
x = 4544
that means x + 2 = 4546
so state a = 4546 and state b = 4544
After the first, we have 2/3 left, the second and third took 1/6 and 1/4, or 5/12 (1/6+1/4=2/12+3/12=(2+3)/12=5/12). Now, we just subtract 5/12 from 2/3, so 2/3-5/12=8/12-5/12=(8-5)/12=3/12=1/4. This means we have 1/4 of an hour left.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:



4(x+1) is the only one equal to 0
-6 1/3 because it looks less than -6.375 which would mean that it is in fact bigger on the number scale.
