With any parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This is another way of saying that they cut each other in half.
FH is one diagonal that is split into two equal pieces by the other diagonal EG.
The two parts of FH (KH and KF) are congruent to each other, so KH = KF. They combine back to FH
By the segment addition postulate
KH + KF = FH
KH + KH = FH .... KF has been replaced with KH (works because KF = KH)
2*KH = FH
Now use substitution
2*KH = FH
2*15 = FH .... replace KH with 15 (since KH = 15)
2*15 = 4x-2 ... replace FH with 4x-2 (since FH = 4x-2)
and solve for x
2*15 = 4x-2
30 = 4x-2
30+2 = 4x-2+2 ... add 2 to both sides
32 = 4x
4x = 32
4x/4 = 32/4 ... divide both sides by 4
x = 8

Answer: x = 8
3(2-y) + y = 4.50
6 - 3y + y = 4.50
- 2y = -1.5
y = 0.75
3x + y = 4.50
3x + 0.75 = 4.50
3x = 3.75
x = 1.25
answer
x = 1.25 and y = 0.75

Q1
Divide each distance by its time to find the speed for each driver.
T: 380 km / 4 hr = 95 km/h
M: 530 km / 5 hr = 106 km/h
Martine's average speed was greater.
Q2
Bronze to aluminum is 25:2
The alloy is bronze plus aluminum, so by adding 25 + 2 you get 27.
Bronze to total is 25:27
25 is 27 as x is to 55
25/27 = x/55
27x = 25 * 55
x = 50.926
Answer: 50.926 kg of bronze
Q3
Manipulative toys to art toys is 30:40
Total toys = 30 + 40 = 70
manipulative toys are 30 out of 70
30/70 * 100 = 42.9%
