Mathematics
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = \frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 5 + 3x

Required

Solve for x

Subtract 5 from both sides

y-5 = 5 -5+ 3x

y-5 = 3x

Divide through by 3

\frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3} = x

x = \frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}

In parallelogram ABCD , diagonals AC¯¯¯¯¯ and BD¯¯¯¯¯ intersect at point E, BE=2x2−x , and DE=x2+6 .
kondaur [170]
<span>The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. So we just equate the two equations BE and DE 2x^2 - x = x^2 + 6 2x^2 - x - x^2 - 6 = 0 x^2 - x - 6 = 0 This is quadratic eqn. So we obtain. (x - 3) ( x + 2) = 0 Setting each to 0 and solving for x, we have that x = 3 and x = -2 So we have two possible values for BD. But Since BE = DE then we can simply double each If x = 3 BD = 2 (2(3)^2 - 3) = 2 ( 18 - 3) = 30 units If x = - 2 BD = 2((-2)^2 -3 ) = 2 (8 - 3) = 10 units</span>
