Answer:

a : b = 25 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(3a - 5b) : (3a + 5b) = 1 : 4

Product of extremes = product  of  means

(3a - 5b) *4 = (3a +5b) * 1    {Distributive property}

3a * 4  - 5b*4 = 3a + 5b

12a - 20b = 3a + 5b

Add 20b to both sides

12a = 3a + 5b + 20b

12a = 3a + 25b

Subtract 3a from both sides

12a - 3a = 25b

9a = 25b

\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{25}{9}

a:b = 25 : 9

Help!!!!!! Find x and y so the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Conclusion:

  • The value of x = 7
  • The value of y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • The parallelogram PQRS

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Therefore,

  • RT = TP

Given RT = x and TP = 5x-28, so

x = 5x-28

5x = x+28

5x-x = 28

4x = 28

divide boh sides by 4

4x/4 = 28/4

x = 7

Thus, the value of x = 7

Similarly,

QT = TS

Given QT = 5y and TS = 2y+12, so

5y = 2y+12

5y-2y = 12

3y = 12

divide both sides by 3

3y/3 = 12/3

y = 4

Thus, the value of y = 4

Conclusion:

  • The value of x = 7
  • The value of y = 4
