I attached the picture associated with this question.

Answer:
x = 2
y = 5

Explanation:
ABCD is a parallelogram. This means that each two opposite sides are equal.
This means that:
1- AB = CD
2y + 1 = 7x - 3 ...........> equation I
2- AD = BC
3x = y + 1
This can be rewritten as:
y = 3x - 1............> equation II

Substitute with equation II in equation I and solve for x as follows:
2y + 1 = 7x - 3 ...........> equation I
2(3x - 1) + 1 = 7x - 3
6x - 2 + 1 = 7x - 3
6x - 1 = 7x - 3
7x - 6x = -1 + 3
x = 2

Substitute with x in equation I to get y as follows:
y = 3x - 1
y = 3(2) - 1
y = 6 - 1
y = 5

Hope this helps :)

The sum of two numbers is 19, and their difference is 55. What are the two numbers?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

37 and -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x and other y

1 x + 1 y = 19 .............1

1 x -1 y = 55 .............2

Eliminate y

multiply (1)by 1

Multiply (2) by 1

1 x 1 y = 19

1 x + -1 y = 55

Add the two equations

2 x = 74

/ 2

x = 37

plug value of x in (1)

1 x + 1 y = 19

37 + 1 y = 19

1 y = 19 -37

1 y = -18

y = -18

37 and -18
