Answer:

26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, BD is a median. As it divides the AC equally, that's why it will AD=CD. Given, AD= 6x+10 and CD= 2x+12

Now, AD=  CD

or, 6x+10=2x+12

or, 6x-2x= 12-10

or, 4x= 2

or, x= 1/2

So the value of x is 1/2. As BD divided AC equally, both AD and CD will be equal and AD+CD= AC.

So, 6x+10+2x+12= AC

or, 8x+22= AC

or, 8 X (1/2) + 22= AC

or, 4+22 = AC

or, AC= 26.

Look at the figure, . Find the values of ​x and y. x = 5, y = 7 x = 6, y = 8 x = 6, y = 9 x = 7, y = 10
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

x = 6, y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the properties of a parallelogram is

The diagonals bisect each other, hence

2x = y + 3 → (1)

2y = 3x → (2)

Rearrange (1) in terms of y by subtracting 3 from both sides

y = 2x - 3 → (3)

Substitute y = 2x - 3 into (2)

2(2x - 3) = 3x ← distribute left side

4x - 6 = 3x ( add 6 to both sides )

4x = 3x + 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

x = 6

Substitute x = 6 into (3) for value of y

y = (2 × 6) - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9

Hence x = 6 and y = 9
