The number of counties in state A and the number of counties in state B are consecutive even integers whose sum is 94. If state A has more counties than state B, how many counties does each state have?

Multiple answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

State A and State B together have 94 counties. State A has more counties than state B. So there can be multiple answers. Let us assume that you mean the two numbers are as close as possible.  A+B=94.  94/2 is 47, so the two numbers as close as possible are 46,48. The lowest you can get is 2 and 92.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
