Answer:

x = 3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other into two equal segments. Therefore:

3x - 1 = 2(x + 1)

Solve for x

3x - 1 = 2x + 2

Collect like terms

3x - 2x = 1 + 2

x = 3

Also:

5y + 1 = 6y - 1

Collect like terms

5y - 6y = -1 - 1

-y = -2

Divide both sides by -1

y = -2/-1

y = 2

Answer:

The two odd numbers are 15 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the odd numbers be represented with x and y

Let x be the greater number

$x + 5y = 92$

Required

Find x and y

Since x and y are consecutive odd numbers and x is greater, then

$x = y + 2$

Substitute y + 2 for x in $x + 5y = 92$

$y + 2 + 5y = 92$

Collect Like Terms

$y + 5y = 92 - 2$

$6y = 90$

Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6y}{6} = \frac{90}{6}$

$y = \frac{90}{6}$

$y = 15$

Substitute 15 for y in $x = y + 2$

$x = 15 + 2$

$x = 17$

Hence; the two odd numbers are 15 and 17

Line segment AB has endpoints A (-4, 4) and B (2, 4). What is the length of line segment AB?

sineoko [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance is sqrt ( (-6)^2 + (-12)^2) = sqrt( 36 + 144) = sqrt( 180) = sqrt(36*5) = 6 * sqrt(5)

2/(2+4) = 2/6 = 1/3

-2 + (1/3)*6*sqrt(5) = -2 + 2* sqrt(5)

6 + (1/3)*6*sqrt(5) = 6 + 2* sqrt(5)
