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
