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
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
it should be point 2 on the number line since the distance between x and 0 is about twice as much as the distance between 0 & 1 this means that x is approximately -2
so,
-2 + 4= 2
The 3rd selection is appropriate.
.. 5b +1 = a = 3b +5
by the transitive property of equality,
.. 5b +1 = 3b +5
Quadratic formula is x = -b+ or- sq rt b^2-4ac / 2a
a=2 b=5 c=-3
-5 +or- sqrt 5^2-4(2)(-3) / 2(2)
-5 +or- sqrt 49/ 4
-5 + 7 /4 = 2/4 = 1/2
-5 - 7 /4 = -12/4 = -3
Factoring a*c is 2*-3 =-6
Factors of -6 that add to 5 are 6 and -1
Split 5x into +6x-1x
2x^2+6x-1x-3 and group
2x(x+3)-1(x+3)
(x+3)(2x-1)=0
x+3=0 gives x=-3
2x-1=0 gives x=1/2
I think your answer is gonna be 20
