State A has 25 drive-in movie screens and State B has 21. You find this by guess-and-checking different numbers that you could add together to get 46. You want to do numbers that are relatively close, as a difference in 4 is not much at all. You can divide 46 by 2 and then play around from there.
Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
x - y = 0.6
y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude
The solution of the first pair of equations is
(x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)
The solution of the first and last equations is
(x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)
The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.
Sum of square of two sides must be equal to the square of third side.
You need to substitute 9 with every x value in the equation.
So, 3(9)^2-7(9)+11
p(x)= 191
No. It would be a arithmetic sequence
