Information Given:
-----------------------------------------------
ON = 7x - 9
LM = 6x + 4
MN = x - 7
OL = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Since it is a parallelogram:
-----------------------------------------------
ON = LM and
MN = OL
-----------------------------------------------
ON = LM:
-----------------------------------------------
7x - 9 = 6x + 4
-----------------------------------------------
Subtract 6x from both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
x - 9 = 4
-----------------------------------------------
Add 9 to both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
x = 13
-----------------------------------------------
MN = OL:
-----------------------------------------------
x - 7 = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Sub x = 13:
-----------------------------------------------
13 - 7 = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Simplify:
-----------------------------------------------
6 = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Add 7 on both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
13 = 2y
-----------------------------------------------
Divide by 2:
-----------------------------------------------
y = 13/2
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 13, y = 13/2 (Answer D)

Is there more context to the question?
Answer:
The size of the sample is 23 scientists.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if a is less than zero then b will from 4 down to negative infinity
so b < 4
Does this help at all? ask me some questions if you really want to learn about math ;)
