8=10-2 or
997=1000-3
so we can use distributive property
remember, a(b+c)=ab+ac
for the first one
8(997)=(10-2)(997)=997(10-2)=997(10)+997(-2)=9970-1994=7976
2nd one
8(997)=8(1000-3)=8(1000)+8(-3)=8000-24=7976

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)
