d. x = 2, DF = 7, EG = 7
 
DF is equivalent to EG; Therefore, the equation would be like this:

5x - 3 = x + 5
Transfer 3 and x to their opposite side and change their signs.

5x - x = 5 + 3
4x = 8
Find x. Divide both sides by 4.

4x / 4 = 8 / 4
x = 2

Subsitute x in the equation to find the length of each diagonal.

DF = 5x - 3 = 5(2) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7 ; DF = 7
EG = x + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7 ; EG = 7

Answer: d. x = 2, DF = 7, EG = 7
Solution:
by ratio:  DF : EG
                5x - 3 = x + 5
Solving for x:
               
5x -x = 5 + 3
                 x = 2
Substituting x=2 in the expression
               DF = 5x -3 = 5(2) - 3 = 7
               EG = x + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7

What is the mean and median of 4,9,26,20,23,0,37??
yan [13]

Answer: Hello, The mean is is 17 and the median is 20

Step-by-step explanation: The mean is a type of average. It is the sum (total) of all the values in a set of data, such as numbers or measurements, divided by the number of values on the list. To find the mean, add up all the values in the set. ... That is the mean. The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. The median is sometimes used as opposed to the mean when there are outliers in the sequence that might skew the average of the values.

Find the value of the variable y in the equation –5.7 + y = 8.2.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

y = 13.9

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that  

–5.7 + y = 8.2.    -----(1)

Equation (1) is a linear equation in one variable.  

LHS consists of a constant and a variable term

RHS consists of only constant term

<u>Find the value of y</u>

Solving the equation

-5.7 + y = 8.2

moving -5.7 to the RHS

y = 8.2 + 5.7

y = 13.9

Therefore the value of y = 13.9

-5.7 + y = 8.2
