The complete question is;

Lourdes is making a frame in the shape of a parallelogram. She adds diagonal braces to strengthen the frame. Parallelogram A B C D is shown. Diagonals are drawn from point A to point C and from point D to point B and intersect at point E. The length of D E is (3 y + 6) centimeters, the length of E B is (5 y minus 10) centimeters, and the length of E C is (2 y + 4) centimeters. How long is the brace that connects points B and D? 8 cm 16 cm 30 cm 60 cm

Answer:

60 cm. Option D is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, the diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other. Thus;

AE = EC and BE = ED

We are given that;

DE = 3y + 6 cm and BE = 5y - 10 cm, thus;

3y + 6 = 5y - 10

Rearranging, we have;

5y - 3y = 6 + 10

2y = 16

y = 16/2

y = 8 cm

The brace that bisects point B and D is BD. So, BD = BE + DE

So, BD = 5y - 10 + 3y + 6

BD = 8y - 4

Putting 8 for y to obtain;

BD = 8(8) - 4

BD = 64 - 4

BD = 60cm

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to substitute x for 2.5. After that, multiply 101 and 2.5 to get 252.5. Then, add 252.5 and 207.85 to get 460.35.

Continuation of the other six questions find the value of eggs and tangent 
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) ?

I can't see what that one given angle is ..  but it's that  mystery angle subtracted from 180 give the angle   BOA   then you know that's an isosceles triangle again that the BOA is part of... so then just subtract BOA from 180 to find the two other angle of that triangle... they are the small so just divide your answer of  180-BOA /2 is the angle of each.. then since you know those to smaller angles subtract one from 90  to find the angle BAX

2) ( as we would read normally)

You're making this really tough on me.. I can just barely read the equations

I think it's  1+6x  and 7x-3  .  b/c they are the same length sides you can set those equal

1+6x = 7x -3

4+6x = 7x

4 = x

that worked out well :

for the tangent..   it's   Tan(Ф)= Opp/ Adj

but I don't know which side they want to solve for.. I think you may have left off some of the instructions????  :/

ohh I think they really mean.. what's the length of the tangent lines .. that was confusing to me.. :/ just plug in 4 into x for either eq.

1+6(4) = 25

or

7(4)-3=25

tangent is 25

3)

x-2 = 2x-10

x+8 = 2x

8 = x

again they made it work out easy :)

Then plug 8 into either equation to find the length of the tangent lines

8-2=10

tangent is 10

4) = 2)   ??? they are the same question  maybe  you meant to put something else?
