Answer:
a = 4, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent , then
WX = YZ , that is
a² + 5a = 5a + 16 ( subtract 5a from both sides )
a² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )
a = ± 
= ± 4
Since a > 0 , then a = 4
Also
XY = WZ , that is
x² + 6x = 4x + 3 ( subtract 4x + 3 from both sides )
x² + 2x - 3 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
Since x > 0 , then x = 1
At first Divide the figure into two rectangles, I and Il
Area of figure l is ~
Area of figure ll is ~
Area of whole figure = Area ( l + ll )
that is equal to ~
We can start from the given line's coefficients and translate the line from the origin to the given point.
4(x -(-2)) -(y -3) = 0
4x +8 -y +3 = 0
The equation of the desired line is ...
4x -y = -11
_____
For standard form line ax+by=c, any parallel line will have only a different value of c. For c=0, the line goes through the origin (0, 0). To make it go through point (h, k) we can write it as
a(x-h) +b(y-k) = 0
which is completely equivalent to
ax +by = ah +bk
20.00+12.76 would give you that sum
