Equations:
b = 2a + 1
a * b = 36 --> a * (2a + 1) = 36 --> 2a^2 + a - 36 = 0
Factor: 
(2a + 9)(a - 4) = 0
2a + 9 = 0 --> a = -9/2 = -4.5
a - 4 = 0 --> a = 4
Assuming a is an integer, then a = 4 so b = 2(4) + 1 = 9
Answer: 4 and 9

Honestly, this one works out to be a quadratic (which I don't really feel like going into detail) . . . so instead, since this one is fairly simple to think about, I'll simply try "trial and error" . . .

Possible combinations:
1 × 36 = 36
2 × 18 = 36
3 × 12 = 36
4 × 9 = 36
6 × 6 = 36

Obviously, multiply 4 × 2 = 8 . . . and 9 is one more than 8, which is 2 times the first number, 4 . . . so that's your answer . . .

the numbers are 4 and 9

Account A: $300 monthly deposits, interest rate is 4.2%. Account B: $250 monthly deposits, interest rate is 5.1%. Which account
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to determine the future value of the annuity to determine which account has a greater value

Future value = Amount x annuity factor

annuity factor = Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r

Account A = 300 x[ (1.042)^15 - 1 ] / 0.042 = $6097.14

Account B = 250  x[ (1.051)^15 - 1 ] / 0.051 = $5435,42

Account A will be greater

Alex, Bob, and Claudia split 126 cm wire evenly among themselves. They then proceeded to cut their pieces of wire into smaller,
Westkost [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • Bob
  • 18 cm
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.

Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.

Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.

Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.

Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.

Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.

In three to five sentences, explain the importance of sentence structures in good writing.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Sentence structure needs to simple, standalone, Grammarly justified and able enough to convey the writer thoughts and feelings clearly

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence structure is very essential to convey the idea of the writer clearly. It is just like the skeleton of a write up and hence its framework needs to be clear and able enough to express the real sense. The structure of sentence needs to be complete with adequate grammar and punctuations. A good sentence must be able to express a complete idea  on its own.
