Answer:

The given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram , then the opposite sides would be equal.

Here we are going to equate the length of  1 pair of opposite sides to find the value of x and use this value of x to verify whether the other pair of opposite sides are equal.

AB = 6x

BC = 3x

DC = x + 15

AD = 9  

Equate AB and CD,

6x = x + 15

5x = 15

x = 3

Now BC and DA should be equal.

BC = 3x = 9

Also DA = 9

As we can see, the other pair of opposite sides are also equal.

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.

Hence , the given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

2x + 7 = 27 or 3 + 3x = 30
Leokris [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 7 = 27 OR 3 + 3x = 30.

2x = 27 - 7 OR 3x = 30 - 3

2x = 20 OR 3x = 27

x = 20/2 OR x = 27/3

x = 10 OR x = 9

How do you solve for a variable?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

C. Get it by itself

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for a variable, whether it be an inequality, a factor, or an algebraic expression. Getting the specified variable by itself is the most effective and best way to get that answer to your question. The other two answers here do not make any sense whatsoever.

Y=4x-18<br><br> Find ordered pairs of intercepts of each line
Masja [62]

The ordered pairs for the intercepts are as follows:

x intercept = 9/2

y intercept = -18

In order to find either of these you must put 0's in for the other variable. So, to find the x intercept, we start by putting 0 in for y.

y = 4x - 18

0 = 4x - 18

-4x = -18

x = 9/2

To find the y intercept, we put a 0 in for x.

y = 4x - 18

y = 4(0) - 18

y = 0 - 18

y = -18
