The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are 3x + 7 and 5x – 11. What is the value of x?

In a trapazoid the diagonals are the same so therefore the two equations equal echother

3x+7=5x-11 solve for x by combining like terms

18=2x then divide to unto multiplication

9=x

9 is the value of x

I hope I've helped!

Diagonals are congruent. (since the trapezoid is isosceles)

3x+7= 5x-11

Add 11 on both sides.

3x+18= 5x

Subtract 3x on both sides.

18= 2x

Divide by 2 into both sides.

x=9

I hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 6, y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

First we take the equations side by side and put them like this:

6x + 2y = 16

+ 2x - 2y = 32

8x = 48

Then solve for x.

x = 6

Then insert x back into either equation

2(5) - 2y = 32

10 - 2y = 32

solve for y,

y = -10
