Answer:

AC = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is a polygon shape with four sides and four angles. The interior angle of a quadrilateral sums up to 360°.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) in which has two pair of opposite sides are parallel to each other. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Given parallelogram ABCD:

Diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at point E. Hence:

AC = AE + CE (line segment addition postulate)

Also:

AE = CE (diagonal BD bisects AC at point E).

Hence; x + 16 = 5x

5x - x = 16

4x = 16

x = 4

AE = x + 16 = 4 + 16 = 20; CE= 5x = 5(4) = 20

AC = AE + CE = 20+ 20 = 40

Choose all of the system of equations which have no solution. x + 2y = 10 and 2y = 6 + 5x x = 8 − y and y = 6 + 5x 3x + 2y = 5 a
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Third and fourth systems

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check the first system:

x + 2y = 10

2y = 6 + 5x

Isolating x in the first equation, we have x = 10 - 2y. Applying that in the second equation we have:

2y = 6 + 5(10-2y)

2y = 6 + 50 - 10y

12y = 56

y = 4.6667

from the first equation, we have that x + 2*4.6667 = 10 -> x = 0.6667

So this system has a solution.

Checking now the second system:

x = 8 − y

y = 6 + 5x

using y from the second equation in the first equation, we have:

x = 8 - 6 - 5x

6x = 2

x = 0.3333

then, in the second equation:

y = 6 + 5*0.3333 = 7.6666

This system also has a solution

Third system:

3x + 2y = 5

2y = 6 − 3x

The second equation can be rewritten as:

3x + 2y = 6

We can see from both equation that the same expression (3x + 2y) has two values (5 and 6). So we can't solve this system.

Fourth system:

3x = 2 − 4y

4y = 7 − 3x

The first equation can be rewritten as 3x + 4y = 2

The second equation can be rewritten as 3x + 4y = 7

We can see from both equation that the same expression (3x + 4y) has two values (2 and 7). So we can't solve this system.

So, the systems that have no solution are the third and fourth systems

What are the coordinates of point P on the directed line
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

<u>(</u><u>-3.5, 2.3</u><u>)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point P have coordinates : (x, y)

The line (from R to Q) is divided in the ratio :

Coordinates of :

  • Q = (-5, 3)
  • R = (4, -1)

Using section formula :

  • x = mx₂ + nx₁ / m + n
  • x = 5(-5) + 1(4) / 5 + 1
  • x = -21/6 = -7/2
  • x = -3.5

  • y = my₂ + ny₁ / m + n
  • y = 5(3) + 1(-1) / 5 + 1
  • y = 14/6 = 7/3
  • y = 2.3

The coordinates of the point P are : <u>(</u><u>-3.5, 2.3</u><u>)</u>
