Question

Find the value of y. Picture below

Answer 1

We have trapezoid with congruent legs.

30x + 11y = 2x + 3

28x +11y = 3

Also we have

30x + 11y = 12

We got 2 equations:

30x + 11y = 12

28x +11y = 3 (*-1) -----> -28x -11y = -3

30x + 11y = 12

-28x -11y = -3

2x = 9

x=9/2

30x + 11y = 12 ------> 30*9/2 +11y =12 ------> 135+11y =12, ---> 11y = - 123,

y= - 123/11
