<em>BD</em> = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: In rectangle, the diagonals are congruent and bisect each other.
So, <em>AC</em> = <em>BD</em>
⇒<em>AG</em> + <em>GC</em> = <em>BG</em> + <em>GD</em>
⇒<em>AG</em> + <em>AG</em> = <em>GD</em> + <em>GD</em>
⇒ 2<em>AG</em> = 2<em>GD</em>
⇒<em>AG</em> = <em>GD</em>
⇒ –7<em>j </em>+ 7 = 5<em>j</em> + 43
⇒–7<em>j</em> – 5<em>j</em> = 43 – 7
⇒–12<em>j</em> = 36
⇒<em>j</em> = –3
Step 2: <em>BD</em> = 2<em>DG</em>
<em>BD</em> = 2(5<em>j</em> + 43)
= 2(5 (–3) + 43)
= 2(–15 + 43)
= 2 × 28
= 56
Hence, <em>BD</em> = 56.
Answer:
y = x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 3y = 9
3x - 9 = 3y
x - 3 = y
y = x - 3
Then plug and chug for y by entering the given x values
Heyoo. Hope this helps you understand why is the answer is option 2. If you still don’t understand, feel free to ask for me to further explain. I used two important rules to figure it out (they are included in the picture).
