Answer:

B 6 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x + 2

2x + 3y = 36

substitute y = x+2  into the second equation

2x + 3 (x+2) = 36

distribute

2x + 3x+ 3*2 = 36

combine like terms

5x+6 = 36

subtract 6 from each side

5x +6-6 = 36 -6

5x = 30

divide by 5

5x/5 = 30/5

x = 6

the short side is x =6

the longer side is

y= x+2

y = 6+2

y =8

The polynomial equation x cubed + x squared = negative 9 x minus 9 has complex roots plus-or-minus 3 i. What is the other root?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

-1,3i,-3i

Step-by-step explanation:

X^3+x^2=-9x-9

x^3+x^2+9x+9=0

x^2(x+1)+9(x+1)=0 factorize by taking x+1 common factor

(x+1)(x^2+9)=0

x+1=0 then x=-1

(x^2+9)=0 then x=+ 0r - 3i

A triangle has a side length of 3/4 inch and a side length of 3 inches. What could be the length, in inches, of the third side?
Inga [223]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1- If the triangle is a rigth triangle, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem. Taking the length 3 inches as the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of the triangle, you have:

 a^2=b^2+c^2
 c=√(a^2-b^2)

 b=3/4 inches
 a=3 inches

 2- When you susbtitute the values, you obtain:

 c=√(3 inches)^2-(3/4 inches)^2
 c=2.90 inches

 The answer is: 2.90 inches.

A pair of vertical angles may also form a linear pair true or false
AVprozaik [17]
This statement is obviously FALSE because the vertical angles are congruent, whatever is the measure of one the two angle, but the linear pair is two angles that lie next to each other and their measures add up to 180 degrees. The linear pair is also a pair of adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines.

Lori buys a $586 certificate of deposit (CD) that earns 6.6% interest that compounds monthly. How much will the CD be worth in 1
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

<h2>$1344.9</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved using the compound interest formula

A= P(1+r)^t

Given data

A, final amount =?

P, principal = $586

rate, r= 6.6% = 0.066

Time, t= 13 years

Substituting our values into the expression we have

A= 586(1+0.066)^1^3\\\ A= 586*(1.066)^13\\\ A= 586*2.295\\\ A= 1344.87

To the nearest cent the in 13 years the CD will be worth $1344.9
