The answer to your question is 19/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a parallelogram, this one in particular:
KR = RM
JR = RL
We are looking in the end for the length of JR, but that means that we need to solve for x somehow to plug in the expression for JL, and then split that in half. Here's how we're going to go about it. I know that
KM = KR + RM, but since KR and RM are the same length, the equation becomes
KM = 2KR. Filling that in with the expressions I'm given for KM and KR:
3x - 5 = 2(x + 7) and
3x - 5 = 2x + 14 and
x = 19. Now I can find the length of JL:
JL = 4x - 10 so
JL = 4(19) - 10 and
JL = 66
Knowing that JR = RL and JL is 66 units long, JR = RL = 33 units each.
140 should be your answer. 490 divided by 3.5 = 140 :)
Your answer would have to be 91 :)

<span>Given:
AB = x + 16
BC = 4x + 11
AC= 77
We can safely assume that,
AB + BC = AC
x + 16 + 4x + 11 = 77
5x + 27 = 77
5x = 77 - 27
5x = 50
x = </span>

x = 10
Hence,
AB = x + 16 = 10 + 16 = 26
Hence, proved.
