Answer:
<h2>x = 3 and y = 4</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
We know:
The diagonals in a parallelogram divide by halves.
Therefore KG = UG and DG = CG.
We have
KG = 5y - 8, UG = 3y, DG = 4x - 7, CG = x + 2
Substitute:
5y - 8 = 3y <em>add 8 to both sides</em>
5y = 3y + 8 <em>subtract 3y from both sides</em>
2y = 8 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>
y = 4
---------------
4x - 7 = x + 2 <em>add 7 to both sides</em>
4x = x + 9 <em>subtract x from both sides</em>
3x = 9 <em>divide both sides by 3</em>
x = 3
X+y = 12
x-y = 3
x = 3+y
Substitute it in 1st equation,
3+y+y=12
2y = 9
y = 4.5
Substitute it in 1st eq.,
x = 12-4.5 = 7.5
So, the two numbers are 7.5 & 4.5
Hope this helps!
show me a example please
Step-by-step explanation:
\
Y = 8
A bag contains 8 fruits.
A box can hold 4 TIMES as many fruits.
So, 4•8= 32
32 fruits.
