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:







The negative solution has no sense in the context of our problem, then the solution is x = 11.
I believe the answer is C -4
Edit . . . I might have been wrong haha thinking backwards
So, we divide 1200 by 25 to find out how many words per minute he types. 1200 / 25 = 48 So, he types 48 words per minute. Now, we multiply this by 45 to find out how many words he can type in 45 minutes. 48 x 45 = 2,160 Joseph can type 2,160 words in 45 minutes!
