Answer:

<em>x = -2</em>

<em>y = -5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Properties of a Parallelogram</u>

  • Two pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
  • Two pairs of opposite sides are equal in length.
  • Two pairs of opposite angles are equal in measure
  • The diagonals bisect each other.
  • Adjacent angles are supplementary.
  • Each diagonal divides the quadrilateral into two congruent triangles.

Each diagonal is divided into two measures expressed with variables. Since diagonals bisect each other:

y + 23 = -4y - 2.  And

-2x + 6 = x + 12

Solve the first equation. Adding 4y:

5y + 23 = - 2

Subtracting 23:

5y = -25

Dividing by 5:

y = -5

Solve the second equation. Subtracting x and 6:

-3x = 6

Dividing by -3:

x = -2

Solution:

x = -2

y = -5

if the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is p=2l+2w, what is the formula for w in terms of p and l
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

(p-2l)/2 = w

Step-by-step explanation:

p=2l+2w


We want to solve for w.

The first step is to subtract 2l from each side

p-2l=2l-2l+2w

p-2l=2w

Then we will divide each side by 2 to isolate w

(p-2l)/2 = 2w/2

(p-2l)/2 = w

devlian [24]
A linear function represents this situation, because Justin’s money does not compound, and his savings increase by the same amount each week.

Airida [17]

Answer:

She is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that if a polinomial has a degree n, therefore has n roots. To fidn these roots the use of complex number imay be necesary .

For the equation, degree is 3, so there are 3 solutions.
