Answer:
x = 2 , y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other , then
PT = TR , that is
y = 5x + 1 → (1)
QT = TS , that is
2y = 6x + 10 → (2)
substitute y = 5x + 1 into (2)
2(5x + 1) = 6x + 10
10x + 2 = 6x + 10 ( subtract 6x from both sides )
4x + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y
substituting into (1)
y = 5(2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11
I decided to do a addition problem because based on the answer it couldn't be multiplication, subtraction, or division. Therefore, my problem would look like 15+9=24 birds in total.
m = −3/4 is the correct answer. Hope this helps!
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that MY is the same length as XM according to definition of segment bisector. We can create an equation:
5x + 8 = 9x + 12
Minus 8 on both sides
5x = 9x + 4
-4 = 4x
x = -1
Now substitute both sides of the equation with -1 instead of x
-5 + 8 = -9x + 12
3 = 3
XY = MY + XM
XY = 3 + 3 = 6
Hope this helps :)
Have an awesome day!
