Answer: x = -3, y = 2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
3x + 2y = -5 → 3(3x + 2y = -5) → 9x + 6y = -15
4x - 3y = -18 → 2(4x - 3y = -18) → <u> 8x - 6y </u>= <u>-36 </u>
17x = -51
<u> ÷17 </u> <u>÷17 </u>
x = -3
3x + 2y = -5
3(-3) + 2y = -5
-9 + 2y = -5
<u> +9 </u> <u> +9 </u>
2y = 4
<u> ÷2 </u> <u>÷2 </u>
y = 2
Answer:
B) 102 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. This means ...
BE = ED
3 -9x = -8x +14
-11 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . add 9x -14
BE = 3 -9x = 3 -9(-11) = 3 +99
BE = 102 units
As far as my math can tell the bigger one has a hypotnuse length of 8 whereas the smaller anes length is about 1 1/2
Is there a reference picture I could see?
