Answer:
EG = 16 and FH =22
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
so 2a = 3b+2
and 2a+3 = 6b-1
We know have a system of equations to solve
2a = 3b+2
2a+3 = 6b-1
Subtract 3 from each side
2a+3-3 = 6b-1-3
2a = 6b -4
Now we can set the 2 equations equal ( 2a = 3b+2 and 2a = 6b -4)
3b+2 = 6b-4
Subtract 3b from each side
3b-3b+2 = 6b-3b-4
2 = 3b-4
Add 4 to each side
2+4 = 3b-4+4
6 = 3b
Divide by 3
6/3 = 3b/3
2 =b
We want to find a
2a = 3b+2
Substitute in b=2
2a = 3(2) + 2
2a = 6+2
2a =8
Divide by 2
2a/2 =8/2
a = 4
Now that we know a and b
EG = 2a + 3b+2
= 2(4) + 3(2)+2
= 8+6+2
= 16
FH = 2a+3 + 6b-1
= 2(4) +3 +6(2)-1
= 8+3+12-1
= 23-1
= 22
Answer:
10.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation for the total cost paid as a function of the # of miles driven:
L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x
and set this equal to $40.03 to determine the # of miles Lupita rode:
L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x = $40.03
Isolate the x term by subtracting $6.75 from both sides:
($3.20/mile)x = $40.03 - $6.75 = $33.28
Finally, divide both sides by ($3.20/mile):
x = $33.28 / ($3.20/mile)
= 10.4 miles
Lupita rode 10.4 miles in the taxi.
36j + j = 37j
Explanation.
You could translate this sum into a normal sebtence: I have 36 apples and add 1 apple more.
The sum will then be 36 apples + apple = 37 apples.
Replacing the word (in this explanation 'apple') by a letter learns us 36a + a = 37a
Hence 36j + j = 37j
