Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent.  This means that WC = 2x+5 = CY = 3x+2:

2x+5 = 3x+2

Subtract 2x from each side:

2x+5-2x = 3x+2-2x

5 = x+2

Subtract 3 from each side:

5-2 = x+2-2

3 = x

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Therefore WC = CY.
That is,
2x + 5 = 3x + 2
Subtract 2x from each side.
5 = 3x - 2x + 2
5 = x + 2
Subtract  from each side.
5 - 2 = x + 2 - 2
3 = x

Answer:  x = 3

Hope this helps!

What is the answer to 2/3 of something equals 10
denis23 [38]
In math, when you see the word "of" it usually means "times".

So the question is:

        <u>2/3 times something = 10</u>

Multiply each side of the equation by 3 :

             2 times something = 30

Divide each side by 2 :

                        <em>  something = 15</em>
