Question

Solve: The diagonals of a parallelogram are as follows:

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3, y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that O is the point of intersection of the diagonals. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other so here we have AO = OC and DO = OB.

Therefore 5y + 1 = 6y - 1

1 + 1 = 5y - 5y

2 = y.

2(x + 1) = 3x - 1

2x + 2 = 3x - 1

2 + 1 = 3x - 2x

3 = x.
