Mathematics is taught by ninth graders, Volume I, answers to quadratic equations in one variable, answers to p43 9 questions and their process.
This problem can be solved by permutation and combination. It is very simple, that is, if * * * has X companies, then any two companies will sign a contract * * * and sign two CX copies (subscript cannot be entered in regular input, sorry). The calculation method is: x(x- 1)/2=45.

If you haven't learned permutation and combination, you can also understand it in the following ways:

Suppose * * * has X companies, then the first company has * * signed (x- 1) contracts with other companies, and the second company has also signed (x- 1) contracts, then these X companies have * * signed x(x- 1). However, it should be noted that this calculation will calculate all contracts twice. Taking the contract signed by the first company and the second company as an example, we calculated it twice in the above process. So the total number of * * * contracts should be x(x- 1)/2, which is 45.

It can be seen that the equations obtained by the two methods are the same, but the solutions are different.
