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

matrenka [14]

Answer: 5 brownies

Step-by-step explanation:

cookies = 5 x $0.50 = $2.5

$15 - $2.5 = $12.5

$12.5 divided by $2.25 = $5.555

so at the most ella can buy 5 brownies if she buys 5 cookies

How you know that the values of the digit in the numbers 1500,000 and 100,500 ate not the same
Sliva [168]

In this number 1500,000,

1 is at million place and 5 is at hundred thousand place

So, the value of 1 = 1 (1,000,000) = 1 million

And the value of 5  = 5 (100,000 ) = 500,000 = Five hundred thousand

In the second number 100,500

1 is at hundred thousand place and 5 is at hundred place

The value of 1 = 1 (100,000) = 100,000 = Hundred thousand

And the value of 5  = 5 (100 ) = 500 = Five hundred

Since the digits 1 and 5 both are at different places in both the numbers so 1,500,000 and 100,500 are not the same.
