Answer:

<h3>           the first number is 5</h3><h3>           the first second is 6</h3><h3>           the first number is 1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

x   - first number

2x   - twice the first number

twice the first number exceeds the second number by 4 so:

2x-4   -the second number

y - the third number

the second number is equal to the sum of the first and third numbers:

2x-4 = x + y

x + y = 2x - 4

  -x        -x

y = x - 4       - the third number

the sum of three numbers:

x + 2x-4 + x-4 = 4x - 8

The sum of three numbers is 12 so:

4x - 8 = 12

   +8       +8

  4x = 20

  ÷4    ÷4

   x = 5

2x-4 = 2•5 - 4 = 6

x-4 = 5 - 4 = 1

Check:

5+1 = 6

2•5 = 10,  10-4 = 6

Point M is the midpoint of AB . Through point M a line segment XY is drawn, so that both XA and YB are perpendicular to AB . Pro
GaryK [48]

Answer:

See the proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line AB be a straight line on the parallelogram.

A dissection of the line (using the perpendicular line X) gives:

AY ≅ BX

Another way will be using the angles.

The angles are equal - vertically opposite angles

Hence the line  AY ≅ BX (Proved)
