Answer:
I will try to do it
Step-by-step explanation:
42 and 14
explanation:
x+y = 56
x = 3y
Substitute for x in the first equation:
x + y = 56
x = 3y
3y + y = 56
Combine like terms:
4y = 56
Divide both sides by 4:
y = 14
So if y = 14, and x = 3y, then x = 42.
Now substitute for both x and y in both of the original equations to prove they are the correct values.
x + y = 56
x = 42
y = 4
42 + 14 = 56
56 = 56
x = 3y
x = 42
y = 14
42 = 3*14
42 = 42
So the two numbers, x and y, are 42 and 14.

Answer:
B. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram intersect at their midpoints, so ...
DE = BE
4y -8 = y +10
3y = 18 . . . . . . . add 8-y
y = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by 3

<em>Additional comment</em>
The value of x is found the same way:
2x = x+2 ⇒ x = 2
You can divide 1/2 by 1/4
that'll leave you with 1/8, which is smaller than 1/4
