Answer:

State A was the <u>12th</u> state to enter the Union. State B was the <u>11th</u> state to enter the Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x to the order-of-entry of State B, therefore the order-of-entry of State A is x+1. Given that he product of their order-of-entry numbers is 132:

x*(x+1) = 132

x² + x - 132 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 -4(1)(-132)}}{2(1)}

x = \frac{-1 \pm 23}{2}

x_1 = \frac{-1 + 23}{2}

x_1 = 11

x_2 = \frac{-1 - 23}{2}

x_2 = -12

The negative solution has no sense in the context of our problem, then the solution is x = 11.
