<u>Given</u>:

Given that the parallelogram with the lengths 5x, 3x + 1, 2y - 5 and y.

We need to determine the values of x and y.

<u>Values of x and y:</u>

We know the property that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

Thus, we have;

5x=2y-5 ------- (1)

3x+1=y  ------- (2)

The value of x and y can be determined using the substitution method.

Substituting equation (2) in equation (1), we have;

5x=2(3x+1)-5

5x=6x+2-5

5x=6x-3

-x=-3

  x=3

Thus, the value of x is 3.

Substituting x = 3 in equation (2), we have;

3(3)+1=y

    9+1=y

         10=y

Thus, the value of y is 10.

Perform the indicated operation.(3/a+2) + (4/a-5)
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

\frac{7(a-1)}{(a+2)(a-5)}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this operation we need to find the common multiple of both denominators and solve for a.

\frac{3}{a+2} + \frac{4}{a-5} =\frac{3(a-5)+4(a+2)}{(a+2)(a-5)} =\frac{3a-15+4a+8}{(a+2)(a-5)} =\frac{7a-7}{(a+2)(a-5)} =\frac{7(a-1)}{(a+2)(a-5)}

Thus, the solution is 7(a -1) / (a+2)(a-5)

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?
jenyasd209 [6]
The segment of length x bisects the chord of length 19.2.
The diameter is 24, so the radius is 12.
You have a right triangle with hypotenuse 12, and one leg 19.2/2 = 9.6

9.6^2 + x^2 = 12^2

92.16 + x^2 = 144

x^2 = 51.84

x = 7.2

A set of equations is given below:
nexus9112 [7]

I would think this is many solutions, the reason is because, there is no specific answer (y) so, x could be anything because it would have to equal to y, which could also be anything! I hope im right! Sorry if im wrong!
