The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

DH = HF and GH = HE

x + 5 = 2y
3x - 1 = 5y + 4

Solve the first equation for x.
x = 2y - 5

Now substitute 2y - 5 for x in the second equation.

3(2y - 5) - 1 = 5y + 4

6y - 15 - 1 = 5y + 4

6y - 16 = 5y + 4

y = 20

Now substitute 20 for y in the first original equation.

x + 5 = 2y

x + 5 = 2(20)

x + 5 = 40

x = 35

Answer: x = 35 and y = 20

"The last time I bought this product, it cost $20.00 but it looks like it costs $29.60 today. Why such a large increase?"

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The company decided to increase the price by $9.60, or by 48%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To measure the price difference in dollars is simple, just subtract the old price from the new one:

$29.60 - 20 = 9.60$

Divide the price change by the old price to find the price increase in percentage:

$9.60 \div 20 = 0.48 \\ 0.48 \times 100\% = 48\%$

Which is the best stock you can invest now in 2021, or where I can learn to invest in stock market

AlladinOne [14]

There really is no ‘best stock’ to invest in. But some good stocks to invest in are Amazon, Disney, and Apple. All are companies that have had tremendous growth and appear to still be growing. You can also go onto Yahoo finance, they will tell you whether they think the stock is over priced and you can also see the growth pattern over time.

Hope this helps! Please make me the brainliest, it’s not necessary but appreciated, I put a lot of effort and research into my answers. Have a good day, stay safe and stay healthy.
