Answer:
C. 35
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 12^2 = (x + 2)^2
x^2 + 144 = x^2 + 4x + 4
144 = 4x + 4
4x = 140
x = 35
Find two points and draw a line through them
y = 1/2(2) + 5
y = 1 + 5, 6
One point is (2,6)
y = 1/2(0) + 5
y = 5
Second point is (0,5)
I inserted a graph on desmos for example
So,
3/4=0.75
36/0.75=48
You need 48 paperclips to make it end to end.
The cost is:
48 x 0.02=0.96
The total cost is $0.96
Hope I helped!
