The complete question is:
quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle (see attached image)
If BE = 6y + 2 and CE = 4y + 6, find the value of y

Answer:
y = 2

Explanation:
We are given that the quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle. This means that it has the following properties:
1- Its diagonals are equal. This means that: AC = BD
2- Diagonals bisect eqcah other. This means that: BE = ED and AE = EC

From the above, we can infer that:
BE = CE
This means that:
6y + 2 = 4y + 6
6y - 4y = 6 - 2
2y = 4
y = 4/2
y = 2

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

$y=-11x+261$

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can observe in the image attached, the line that best fits passes through point B and C. That means we can use those point to find the slope of such line.

$m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Where $B(11,137)$ and $C(12,126)$

$m=\frac{126-137}{12-11}=-11$

So, the slope of the line that best fits is -11, approximately.

Now, we use the point-slope formula to find the equation.

$y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-137=-11(x-11)\\y=-11x+124+137\\y=-11x +261$

Therefore, the line that best fits is $y=-11x+261$ approximately.

Remember, when we estimate a line for some data on a scatterplot, we are calculating an approximation, that's why we also said "approximately", because the line is an approximation where the majority of point meet.

18x^2+24x=0 Please solve by factoring.

Harman [31]

Answer:

6x ( 3x +4)

X =0 and x = 4/3 or x = 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the common factors out,

Here x is common to both equation and also 6 is common to both equation

So,

6x ( 3x + 4) = 0

So it can be solved by

X = 0 and x = 4/3
