Answer:
The number of counties in state A are 70.
The number of counties in state B are 68.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of counties in state A and the number of counties in state B are consecutive even integers whose sum is 138.
Let the two consecutive even integers be x and x+2.
As their sum is 138, we can denote this mathematically as :




Now, we get x = 68
And
= 70
Hence, the two numbers are 68 and 70.
So, the number of counties in state A are 70.
The number of counties in state B are 68.
The value of x is 5.5. I got this answer by first distributing -3 amongst (x-11), and distributing 7 amongst (2x-5). Next I combined like terms and subtracted 3x from 5x, and added -35 and 2. Next I subtracted 33 from both sides. Next I subtracted 14x from both sides. And finally I divided both sides by -12 to get the final answer of 5.5.

Answer:
I think i don't really know its been awhile for me.
Step-by-step explanation:
But i think you do 2 x 10 and what ever you get from that you multiply by 5 and what get from that you divide by 24.
I may not be right.
So please don't hate i tried.
