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

Many has 48 feet of wood he wants to use all of it to create a border around a garden. The equation 2l+2w=48 can be used to find
lord [1]
2L + 2W = 48 

L= 15 feet

substitute the given value to the formula provided.

2(15) + 2W = 48

multiply 2 by 15

30 + 2W = 48

use the subtraction property of equality to cancel the value 30 on the left side. 

30 - 30 + 2W = 48 - 30

cancel 30 on the left side leaving 2W while subtract 30 from 48.

2W = 18

divide both sides to get the value of the width.

2W/2 = 18/2

W = 9ft     this is the final answer.

The mold for a cone has a diameter of 4 inches in 6 inches tall what is the volume of the cone mold to the nearest 10th
anygoal [31]

Hey there!

The formula for the volume of a cone is V=\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}.

In this cone, we have the given information:

  • Its diameter is 4 inches
  • Its height is 6 inches

The information we need for this formula is the radius and height.

We already have the height, but not the radius.

Fortunately, we can easily get it by dividing the diameter by 2.

4 \div 2 = 2

So, the radius is 2.

Let 3.14 be \pi.

Plug in each value into the equation. V = 3.14 \times 2^{2} \times \frac{6}{3}

Simplify the exponent and fraction.

V = 3.14 \times 4 \times 2

Multiply the three numbers together.

V = 25.12

But wait! We have to round this to the nearest tenth.

When rounding, we look at the place value one less than the one we are rounding to. Since we are rounding to the nearest tenth, we look at the hundredths place, which is the digit 2.

Since 2 is less than 5, we round down to 25.1.

This is the volume of a cube, and it is measured in inches, so the unit we will use is in^{3}.

So, your <u>final answer</u> is 25.1 in^{3}!

Hope this helps!

a clerk earns $7.50 an hr, plus a commission of 5% of sales. if she works a 40 hr week and sells $6300 worth of goods, what does
ehidna [41]

Givens

Work week = 40 hours

Paid 7.50 an hour.

Sells 6300 worth of goods.


Equation

Take home pay = Sales * 5% + 7.50 * number of hours.


Sub and Solve

Take home pay = 6300 * 5% + 7.50 * 40

Take home pay = 6300 * 5/100 + 7.50 * 40

Take home pay = 315 + 300

Take home pay = 615 dollars.
