You have to divide

48 divided by 2 = 24

so the answer is Gretchen can make 24 pairs of earrings

Solve this system and list the method that you chose graphing substitution or elimination Y=2x-12

zmey [24]

Substitution

y = 2x - 12
y = -x + 3

-x + 3 = 2x - 12
+ x + x
-----------------------------
3 = 3x - 12
+ 12 + 12
-----------------------
15 = 3x
------ ------
3 3

x = 5

y = 2(5) - 12
y = 10 - 12
y = -2

The final answer is (5,-2).

I really don’t get this how do I do this:(?

Answer:

You are drawing a right triangle. So draw the two lines off of the right angle. Then write 5 along one line. That line is now BC, so you can start naming points and putting in lengths. Then, draw the hypotenuse (AB) going from the end of the line you were writing next to, to the other line. Make sure it is at least twice as long, because it is 13 long. Then, to find the length of the last line, square 13, and subtract 25 from it. Take that number and find it's square root. You should get 12, which is your answer.

Do es compoumd interest have more of an impact for short-term

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

As the principal, interest rate, and compound periods increase, so does the future value of an investment. It doesn't matter if you are just putting some money into short-term, low rate savings accounts or CDs or long-term, higher return investments, compound interest will work for your benefit if you allow it.

Step one:
ALWAYS set equation equal to zero, which in this case has already been done for us.

Step two:
Figure out what formula you need to use in order to solve in this case I'd use the Quadratic formula.

a=1
b=9
c=2

Quadratic formula:
$x = \frac{ - b + - \sqrt{(b) ^{2} - 4(a)(c)} }{2(a)}$
Then you would plug in the information.
$x = \frac{ - 9+ - \sqrt{(9) {}^{2} - 4(1)(2) } }{2(1)}$
The solve for what is underneath the square root ONLY.
$x = \frac{ - 9 + - \sqrt{73} }{2}$
Since you cannot solve this any further, your final two answers are...
$x = \frac{ - 9 + \sqrt{73} }{2}$
$x = \frac{ - 9 - \sqrt{73} }{2}$
