Answer: x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. (i)

Here in parallelogram ABCD , AC and Bd are diagonals intersecting at E.

BE = 2x + 2, BD = 5x – 3, and AE = 4x – 6

Using (i)

$BE=\dfrac{BD}{2}\\\\2x+2=\dfrac{5x-3}{2}\\\\ 2(2x+2)=5x-3\\\\ 4x+4= 5x-3\\\\ 5x-4x=4+3\\\\ x= 7$

Now , AE = 4(7)-6 = 28-6 = 22

AC =2 AE = 2 (22) =44 units.

Hence, x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.

2x-15y = 117 is the simplified form of the equation.

Equation : In a mathematical sentence, if two expressions are present in left and right side of an equal sign, then the mathematical sentence is called an equation.

If, a, b, c be integers and x is x-intercept & y is y-intercept, then ax+by=c is called equation of line.

Given that, the equation of the line that passes through the points (-9,-9)(−9,−9) and (6,-7)(6,−7).

Now, (-9,-9) & (6, -7) have a line through them with slope = (-9+7)/(-9-6) = 2/15

Therefore, (y+7) = 2/15×(x-6)

⇒ y+7 = 2x/15 - 4/5

⇒ y = 2x/15 - 4/5 - 7

⇒ y = 2x/15 -39/5

This is the equation in slope intercept form.

Multiplying the equation with 15, we get,

⇒ 15y = 2x-117

⇒ 2x-15y = 117 , which is the simplified form of the equation.

Find the value of using identities 996^2

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

992,016

Step-by-step explanation:

${996}^{2} \\ = {(1000 - 4)}^{2} \\ = {1000}^{2} - 2 \times 1000 \times 4 + {4}^{2} \\ = 1000000 - 8000 + 16 \\ = 1000016 - 8000 \\ = 992,016 \\$
