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

What is the solution to the equation below? Round your answer to two
noname [10]

Answer:

D. x=5

The answer is x=4.50 then it is rounded off to 5. So, the answer is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the domain of the inequality:2x-1\geq 0

Rearrange terms to the left side of the equation:2x\geq 1

Divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of the variable:

=> x\geq \frac{1}{2}

The domain of the inequality is:x\geq \frac{1}{2}

Convert logarithm to exponential form:2^{3}=2x-1

Calculate the power:8=2x-1

Rearrange terms to the left side of the equation:-2x= -8-1

Calculate:-2x=-9

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable:x=\frac{-9}{-2}

=> x=\frac{9}{2}

=>x=4.5\\

Round the number: x=4.50

Answer: x=4.50

=> x=5
