Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a parallelogram. What we know about the diagonals is that they intersect each other at their midpoints. In other words, QT = ST, and PT = RT. So that gives us 2 equations:
If QT = ST, then
2x = y + 3
If PT = RT, then
x + 5 = y Solving by substitution, plug x + 5 in for y in the first equation.
2x = x + 5 + 3 and
2x = x + 8 and
x = 7 Now plug in 7 for x to solve for y:
If x + 5 = y, then
7 + 5 = y and
y = 12
Answer:
where is the expression??
Combine like terms so 3x + 3x= 6x
Then put the minus signs with the 4 and 5 and add them together so -4+ -5= -9
Now you have 6x=-9 So you divide by 6 on both sides canceling out 6
but 9 divided by 6 doesn't go into a specific number therefore it has no solution which is a possible answer
