Answer:the length of the shorter string= 36cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the lengths are 2x and 7x  since thery are in the ratio of 2 :7

 Such that Length of the shorter string = 2x

and the longer string = 7x  so that  the difference in Length which is 90cm can be expressed as

7x- 2x= 90

5x= 90

x 90/5

x= 18

shorter string = 2 x = 2x 18= 36cm

Longer strring = 7x 18=126cm

Answer:

x = (+ - ) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 81

u know how u can sometimes cancel something out by doing the opposite.

This is one of those times as well. the opposite of ^2 = square root.

so if we take the square root of both sides, this will cancel out the^2 on the left side.

sqrt (x^2) = sqrt(81)

x = (+-) 9.....thats a positive and a negative sign...because the sqrt of 81 is both 9 and -9.

hammer [34]

Answer:

Sally has been measuring the tree for 4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is as follows;

Sally has been measuring the tree in her yard for a science project. The tree has grown 1/2 of an inch each month and grown a total of 2 inches taller. How many months has Sally been measuring this tree?

.........................................................................................

Solution;

The tree has grown 1/2 of an inch each month and has grown a total of 2 inch taller.

We now need to know the number of months in which the measuring has been taking place.

To know the number of months, we simply need to divide the change in height which is 2 inch by the individual month growth rate which is 1/2 inch

So mathematically, that would be 2/1/2 = 2 * 2 = 4 months
