Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, hence

AE = EC, that is

x² - 6 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x² - 5x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 6

AC = x² - 6 + 5x = 6² - 6 + 5(6) = 36 - 6 + 30 = 60

Solve the equation 5y-6=10
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

y = 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5y + -6 = 10

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 5y = 10

Solving

-6 + 5y = 10

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 5y = 10 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 5y = 10 + 6

5y = 10 + 6

Combine like terms: 10 + 6 = 16

5y = 16

Divide each side by '5'.

y = 3.2

Simplifying

y = 3.2
