-1 C, that's the only logical answer I can think of. Or does it have to be in F?
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(-3+ x) = -4
Distribute
-2 * -3 + (-2) *x = -4
6 -2x = -4
Subtract 6 from each side
6 -2x-6 = -4-6
-2x = -10
Divide each side by -2
-2x/-2 = -10/-2
x = 5
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
DH = HF and GH = HE
x + 5 = 2y
3x - 1 = 5y + 4
Solve the first equation for x.
x = 2y - 5
Now substitute 2y - 5 for x in the second equation.
3(2y - 5) - 1 = 5y + 4
6y - 15 - 1 = 5y + 4
6y - 16 = 5y + 4
y = 20
Now substitute 20 for y in the first original equation.
x + 5 = 2y
x + 5 = 2(20)
x + 5 = 40
x = 35
Answer: x = 35 and y = 20
