Question

Find the values of x and y so that GHJK is a dart. Be sure to show all work .

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In dart, adjacent sides are equal

JK = GK

3x - 9 = x + 13            {Add 9 to both sides}

3x      = x + 13 + 9

    3x = x + 22            {Subtract 'x' from both sides}

3x -x = 22

 2x  = 22           {Divide both sides by 2}

   x = 22/2

x = 11

JH = GH

9y = 5y + 8  {Subtract 5y from both sides}

9y - 5y = 8

    4y = 8        {Divide both sides by 4}  

  y   = 8/4

y = 2
