Answer:
B I holp this helps i took the quiz with tish qus.
Step-by-step explanation:
So what you have to do first is get all the numbers without variables on one side, and y has to be by itself on the other.
you can do it like this:
3y+1=4y-6
-3y -3y
1=y-6
+6 +6
y=7
(you would add 6 b/c there is a minus sign next to it)
Since the point is equidistant from (3,8) and (-2,5) on the y-axis, we are talking about the middle point, so:
Therefore the coordinates are:
(0.5,6.5)
WX and ZY make up the legs, as illustrated in the diagram.
Since it is an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are congruent; that means
6<em>x</em> + 5 = 8<em>x</em> - 3
When solving this equation, we do not want a variable on both sides. We will cancel the 6<em>x</em> to avoid negatives:
6<em>x</em> + 5 - 6<em>x</em> = 8<em>x</em> - 3 - 6<em>x</em>
5 = 8<em>x</em> - 3 - 6<em>x</em>
Combine like terms:
5 = 2<em>x</em> - 3
Cancel the 3 by adding:
5 + 3 = 2<em /><em>x</em> - 3 + 3
8 = 2<em>x</em>
Cancel the 2 by dividing:
8/2 = 2<em>x</em>/2
4 = <em>x</em><em />
