Let x = a and x = b be the distinct solution

A distinct real solution is really the same thing as a real solution. Sometimes we use the word distinct to emphasize that if the same real solution arises from two separate terms in an equation, it should only be counted once. For example, the equation is solved if and only if or .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that she wants to spend exactly $15 on candy.

Also, she spent $9 on lollipops. It means she spent  on gummy bears.

Also, we have been given that the cost of gummy bears are $0.75 per pound.
