Question

PT=y,TR=x+3,QT=2y,TS=3x-1 I'm confused and u really need help. My teacher isn't the greatest and wasn't much help.

Answer 1

Answer:

y=10, x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, PT should be equal to TR and QT should be equal to TS. So, y=x+3 and 2y=3x-1. Multiplying the first equation by 3 gives you 3y=3x+9. Using elimination to subtract these two equations gives you y=10. And since y=x+3, substitute y=10 there. 10=x+3, x=7.
