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.

Answer:
He would have to make 8 mini pies
Step-by-step explanation:
it took me a while but the answer is 5/3
Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
8-(3+b)=b-9
remember the distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
distribute that invisible -1
-(3+b)=-1(3+b)=-1(3)-1(b)=-3-b
8-3-b=b-9
add like terms
5-b=b-9
add b to both sides
5=2b-9
add 9 to both sides
14=2b
divide both sides by 2
7=b
b=7
