The values of x and y are ⇒ x = 4 and y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
In a parallelogram
1. Each two opposite sides are equal and parallel
2. Each two opposite angles are equal
3. Its two diagonals bisect each other
In parallelogram ABCD
∵ Its diagonal AC and BD intersect each other at point E
∵ AC and DE bisect each other at E
∴ E is the mid-point of AC
∴ AE = EC
∴ E is the mid-point of BD
∴ DE = EB
∵ AE = x + 5
∵ EC = y
∵ AE = EC
∴ x + 5 = y ⇒ (1)
∵ DE = 2x + 3
∵ EB = y + 2
∵ DE = EB
∴ 2x + 3 = y + 2
- Subtract 2 from both sides
∴ 2x + 1 = y ⇒ (2)
Substitute y in equation (2) by equation (1)
∵ 2x + 1 = x + 5
- Subtract x from both sides
∴ x + 1 = 5
- Subtract 1 from both sides
∴ x = 4
Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y
∵ x + 5 = y
∵ x = 4
∴ 4 + 5 = y
∴ y = 9
The values of x and y are ⇒ x = 4 and y = 9

3x+11=55
3x=44
x=14.7
Answer:
8 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
- Ratio of C:N = 30:1
- C - carbon content, N - nitrogen content
<h3>Given</h3>
- Coffee grounds = 1 pound <u>contains </u>25% C and 1% N
- Rotten vegetables = 6 pounds <u>contains</u> 10% C and 1% N
- Dry leaves = ? pound <u>contains</u> 30% C and 0.5% N
<h3>Solution</h3>
<u>Coffee grounds and Rotten vegetables together give:</u>
- 1 + 6 = 7 pounds
- C = 1*0.25 + 6*0.1 = 0.25 + 0.6 = 0.85
- N = 1*0.01 + 6*0.01 = 0.01 + 0.06 = 0.07
<u>Add dry leaves of x pounds:</u>
- Total = 7 + x
- C = 0.85 + 0.3x
- N = 0.07 + 0.05x
<u>Finding required weight of dry leaves:</u>
- (0.85 + 0.3x)/(0.07+0.005x) = 30/1
- 0.85 + 0.3x = 30(0.07 + 0.005x)
- 0.85 + 0.3x = 2.1 + 0.15x
- 0.3x - 0.15x = 2.1 - 0.85
- 0.15x = 1. 25
- x = 1.25/0.15
- x = 8.33 pounds = 8 pounds rounded to nearest pound
$200 a year, for the last 5 years, equal $1,000. That is a 20% increase.
