There are an infinite number of expressions whose value is not 18.
Here are a few of them:
4π
√7
cos(any angle)
sin(any angle)
(x + 12) whenever 'x' is NOT 6
The answer is 8.6. I hope this helped you out!
Here is how you would work it out step by step.
You have to factor the equation you're given. (To check you factorization you can "FOIL" it and make sure it matches the original equation)
Then set the two answers you get from FOILing to zero and you should get your answers.
Answer:
x = 6, y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect with each other at the point of intersection with equal sides across the point of intersection.
- DH = HF ⇒ x + 2 = 2y
- GH = HE ⇒ 4x - 3 = 5y + 1
x + 2 = 2y,
4x - 3 = 5y + 1
x = 2y - 2,
4(2y - 2) - 3 = 5y + 1
x = 2y - 2,
8y - 8 - 3 = 5y + 1
x = 2y - 2,
8y - 11 = 5y + 1
x = 2y - 2,
8y - 5y = 11 + 1
x = 2y - 2,
3y = 12
x = 2y - 2,
y = 4
x = 2*4 - 2,
y = 4
x = 6,
y = 4
The answer is 15. Each one is 5 pieces and there are 3 of them. so 5 x 3 = 15
