Rule: The diagonals of any parallelogram bisect each other. In other words, they cut each other in half.
This means DF is cut into two equal pieces: DH and HF.
Similarly, GE is cut into two equal pieces: GH and HE.
DH = HF
x+5 = 2y
x = 2y-5
GH = HE
4x-3 = 4y+1
4(x)-3 = 4y+1
4(2y-5)-3 = 4y+1 ... x has been replaced with 2y-5
8y-20-3 = 4y+1
8y-23 = 4y+1
8y-4y = 1+23
4y = 24
y = 6
If y = 6, then x is
x = 2y-5
x = 2(6)-5
x = 12-5
x = 7

Answers:
x = 7 and y = 6
You're correct, the answer is C.
Given any function of the form

, then the derivative of y with respect to x (

) is written as:

In which

is any constant, this is called the power rule for differentiation.
For this example we have

, first lets get rid of the quotient and write the expression in the form

:

Now we can directly apply the rule stated at the beginning (in which

):

Note that whenever we differentiate a function, we simply "ignore" the constants (we take them out of the derivative).
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
3 ( -x + 2) is the factorization; 3 is the common factor
Discussion:
Each term in
-3x + 6 has 3 as a factor so the factorization is
3 ( -x + 2)
Thank you,
MrB
Let T = total cost
Let 8c = total amount of children tickets
Let 12a = total amount of adult tickets
T = 8c + 12a
