Dean had already read 1 book this year before joining a book club, and he plans to read 1 book every month now that he has joined. if dean has read 9 books so far, how many months has he been with his book club? write and solve an equation to find the answer.

b for books read. b=1x + 1. the amount of months he's been in the club goes for x and +1 because he already read a book before he joined. if you do easy math, he's been there for 8 months because he read 9 books. i probably got the equation backwards but this works both ways imo.

2 x^2 -3x+p

sum of roots = 3/2

let other root be x

3+ x = 3/2

x= 3/2 - 3 = -3/2

product of roots = p/2

3× -3/2 = p/2

-9 = p
