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
6n + 8n
Which is 6 * n + 6 * 8, n being a number.
He got 4 percent right. 16 percent of 15 is 4 :)
