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
