In the United States government, Congress is made up of two houses: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Senate contains 100 representatives, and always will, because this house is based on equal representation from each state, regardless of the state's size or population. Therefore, each state is able to elect two Senators to represent it. The House of Representatives currently contains 435 representatives. Each state receives a certain number of House seats based on its population size; less populated states such as Alaska or Vermont have very little representatives, while larger states, such as California with 53 reps, have more. Since the Senate contains a fixed amount of seats from each state, there is no way, other than amending the Constitution, for the number of representatives from a state to change in this house. The only way to "add" more representatives is for the actual population of the state to increase, meaning it would take more elected representatives to fairly represent the more populous states in Congress.

Answer from: Quest

x = 7

step-by-step explanation:

equating the expression for area to the given area

2x² - 7x - 4 = 45 ( subtract 45 from both sides )

2x² - 7x - 49 = 0 ← in standard form

to factor consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 49 = - 98 and sum = - 7

the factors are - 14 and + 7

use these factors to split the middle term

2x² - 14x + 7x - 49 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 7) + 7(x - 7) = 0 ← factor out (x - 7)

(x - 7)(2x + 7) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

2x + 7 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 7 ⇒ x = - $\frac{7}{2}$

thus the positive value for x is x = 7
