Answer:
EG = 16 and FH =22
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
so 2a = 3b+2
and 2a+3 = 6b-1
We know have a system of equations to solve
2a = 3b+2
2a+3 = 6b-1
Subtract 3 from each side
2a+3-3 = 6b-1-3
2a = 6b -4
Now we can set the 2 equations equal ( 2a = 3b+2 and 2a = 6b -4)
3b+2 = 6b-4
Subtract 3b from each side
3b-3b+2 = 6b-3b-4
2 = 3b-4
Add 4 to each side
2+4 = 3b-4+4
6 = 3b
Divide by 3
6/3 = 3b/3
2 =b
We want to find a
2a = 3b+2
Substitute in b=2
2a = 3(2) + 2
2a = 6+2
2a =8
Divide by 2
2a/2 =8/2
a = 4
Now that we know a and b
EG = 2a + 3b+2
= 2(4) + 3(2)+2
= 8+6+2
= 16
FH = 2a+3 + 6b-1
= 2(4) +3 +6(2)-1
= 8+3+12-1
= 23-1
= 22
Answer:
one bag is heavier and the other is lighter.
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8 = more than half a pound
1/4 = less than half a pound
Answer:
a. yes
b. no
c. yes
d. yes
Step-by-step explanation:
For a, 27 + 38 can be broken apart. 27 is broken up by adding smaller numbers (20 + 7 = 27) and the same is done with 38 (30 + 8 = 38), so A and C shows a way to add 27 and 38. In C, the numbers are just put into a different order. B is not a way to add 27 and 38, because the sum is different.
27 + 38 = 65, however 20 + 70 + 38 = 128. The addition problem for D is a way to solve for 27 + 38, because it is broken up differently than A and C. They instead added the 20 and 30 together first, then split up 15 (from 8+7) into 10 and 5. So D is a way to solve, because it gets the same answer as 27 and 38 :D

Answer:
133 1/3 km/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Average speed is computed as ...
average speed = (total distance)/(total time)
= (80 km +120 km +200 km)/(2/3 + 1 + 1 1/3 hour) = 400 km/(3 hour)
= 133 1/3 km/hour
Answer:
