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

A park is mapped on a coordinate plane, where C1, C2, C3, and C4 represent chairs and SW1, SW2, and SW3 represent swings. How fa

serg [7]

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance between C2 and SW1 we will use the formula of distance between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ .

d = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2}+(y_2-y_1)^2 }$

Coordinates representing positions of C2 and SW1 are (2, 2) and (-6, -7) respectively.

By substituting these coordinates in the formula,

Distance between these points = $\sqrt{(-6-2)^2+(-7-2)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(64)+(81)}$

= $\sqrt{145}$ units

Therefore, Option (B) will be the correct option.

Latoya has b decks of cards . Each deck has 52 cards in it , what is the expression for the total numbers of cards latoya has

Lerok [7]

Answer:

52b

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 52 cards per deck, and b decks.

This means she has 52b cards.

How this works:

For 1 deck, she has 52 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 2 decks, she has 104 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 5 decks, she has 260 cards, or 52×5 cards.

For 10 decks, she has 520 cards, or 52×10 cards.

Therefore, for b decks, she has 52×b, or 52b cards.
