Given BE= 2x+6 and ED= 5x-12 in a parallelogram ABCD, find BD

1 answer:

3 0

1.BE = 2x + 6
ED = 5x - 12
2. To get the entire side of BD, we must add both half's which equals to the entire length.
3. 2x + 6 + 5x - 12
4.Add like terms.
2x + 5x = 7x
-12 + 6 = -6
5. So, we have 7x - 6

=7x - 6

Does the line whose equation is 4/3 x + 8 pass through the point (9,20)

sergey [27]

Answer: yes

Step-by-step explanation: slope is 4/3 and y intercept is 8

4/3= y-20/-9

4/3 x -9 = y-20

-12 = y-20

Y=20-12
