Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and congruent, thus

SR = PQ , that is

8a - 4 = 6a + 10 ( subtract 6a from both sides )

2a - 4 = 10 ( add 4 to both sides )

2a = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 7

In a parallelogram consecutive angles are supplementary, thus

∠ P + ∠ Q = 180, that is

18b - 11 + 9b + 2 = 180, that is

27b - 9 = 180 ( add 9 to both sides )

27b = 189 ( divide both sides by 27 )

b = 7

Thus c = a + b = 7 + 7 = 14 → B

Answer:

$y = - x + 5 \\ y = x + 1 \\ - x + 5 = x + 1 \\ - 2x = - 4 \\ x = 2 \\ y = 2 + 1 = 3 \\ y = 3$

Therefore the answer is:

x=2; y=3

Solve the inequality −10 ≤ 2x - 4 < 8

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

- 3 is greater than or equal to x is greater than or equal to 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 10 \leq 2x - 4 \leq 8\\\\-10 + 4\leq 2x - 4 + 4\leq 8+4\\\\-6 \leq 2x \leq 12\\\\\\frac{-6}{2} \leq \frac{2x}{2} \leq \frac{12}{2} \\\\-3 \leq x \leq 6$

Hope this helps!!!!
