Question

Here is the problem i would appreciate if someone could answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know about this, or should know about this, is that the diagonals bisect each other. That means that

x = y + 2 and y + 10 = 2x - 8

Because the first equation is already solved for x, sub that value into the second equation in place of x to get:

y + 10 = 2(y + 2) - 8 and

y + 10 = 2y + 4 - 8 and

y + 10 = 2y - 4 so

y = 14.

Back sub that in to solve for x:

If x = y + 2 and y = 14, then

x = 16
