Answer:

BC is 8 units length

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information is missing in the question:

AB= 4x

CD= 2y

AD= y + 4

BC= 2y

Given that ABCD is a parallelogram, then the opposite sides are congruent. That means:

AB = CD -> 4x = 2y      (eq. 1)

BC = AD -> 2y = y + 4  (eq. 2)

Solving equation 2:

2y = y + 4  

2y - y = 4  

y = 4

Solving equation 1:

4x = 2*4

x = 8/4

x = 2

This means that

BC = 2*4 = 8 units length

CD = 2*4 = 8 units length

AB= 4*2 =  8 units length

AD= 4 + 4  = 8 units length

Can someone help me with these 2 last homework questions<br><br> Thanks

31a) Think of $30.90 as 100% of her bill, we first want to find 6%
To work out how much this is, we need to divide the percentage by 100 to get a multiplier (decimal)
6/100 = 0.06
Multiply 0.06 and $30.90 to get the tax
$30.90 x 0.06 = 1.854
As we can't have part of a cent, we round to the nearest 100th
If the number to the right of this value is below 5 we round down, 5 or more we round up
4 is below 5 so we round down
$1.85

31b) For the total bill, we need to add together the original and the tax
$30.90 + $1.85 = $32.75

32a) Simple Interest = PRT
This means
P x R x T
We need to multiply together the Principal, Rate and Time span
We need to turn the percentage into a decimal, so we divide by 100 like before
3.2 / 100 = 0.032
$750 x 0.032 x 6 = $144

32b) To find the account balance, we need to add the interest to the original amount
$750 + $144 = $894

Can somebody explain to me how to do this and the answers and how you got it
yaroslaw [1]
7. Easiest method is substitution.  Since y=x/2, then:
2x+3(x/2)=28
8.Substituting again, we get:
3x-6x=6
-3x=6
x=-2
(-2,6)
