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

Which is true when you rent ?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

As the question is not clear, as it is not stated that for whom this is true - for the owner or the person who rents the house.

Explanation:

With respect to the owner, the second option is correct. The owner is responsible for all the repairs and maintenance costs.

When you are the one who takes a house on rent or when you are a tenant, then you pay fewer upfront cost.

N76 [4]

Answer:

(34, 48)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Empirical Rule, 95% of normally distributed data lie within two standard deviations of the mean.  That, in turn, means 95% of the data in this problem lie within 2(3.5 min), or 7 min, of the mean:

41 - 7 < mean < 41 + 7, or

34 < mean < 48, or simply (34, 48)
