May be there is an operator missing in the first function, h(x). I will solve this in two ways, 1) as if the h(x) = 5x and 2) as if h(x) = 5 + x
1) If h(x) = 5x and k(x) = 1/x
Then (k o h) (x) = k ( h(x) ) = k(5x) = 1/(5x)
2) If h(x) = 5 + x and k (x) = 1/x
Then (k o h)(x) =k ( h(x) ) = k (5+x) = 1 / [5 + x]

Information Given:
-----------------------------------------------
ON = 7x - 9
LM = 6x + 4
MN = x - 7
OL = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Since it is a parallelogram:
-----------------------------------------------
ON = LM and
MN = OL
-----------------------------------------------
ON = LM:
-----------------------------------------------
7x - 9 = 6x + 4
-----------------------------------------------
Subtract 6x from both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
x - 9 = 4
-----------------------------------------------
Add 9 to both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
x = 13
-----------------------------------------------
MN = OL:
-----------------------------------------------
x - 7 = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Sub x = 13:
-----------------------------------------------
13 - 7 = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Simplify:
-----------------------------------------------
6 = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Add 7 on both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
13 = 2y
-----------------------------------------------
Divide by 2:
-----------------------------------------------
y = 13/2
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 13, y = 13/2 (Answer D)
