Answer:

<em>y = 6</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a parallelogram ABCD with diagonals AC and BD.

Kindly refer to the diagram attached for the given parallelogram.

AE=2x\\BE=y+10\\CE=x+2\\DE=4y-8

To find:

The value of y = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us consider a property of parallelogram and its diagonals.

The intersecting point of diagonals of a parallelogram bisect the diagonals in two equal parts.

Let us consider the given parallelogram ABCD which has its diagonals BD and AC intersecting at point E.

As per the property stated above:

<em>AE = CE </em>and

<em>DE = BE</em>

Putting the values of AE, CE, DE and BE as given in the question statement and solving for x and y:

2x = x+2\\\Rightarrow \bold{x = 2}

and

y+10=4y-8\\\Rightarrow 4y-y = 10+8\\\Rightarrow 3y=18\\\Rightarrow y =\dfrac{18}{3}\\\Rightarrow \bold{y= 6}

So, the answer is:

<em>y = 6</em>

What is the answer a or b to this question
galina1969 [7]
The answer would be A.

Explanation:

If they enter with one car, that’s a price of $3 for the car alone. Because there’s also a fee for each person who enters, and there is a family of 5 who enters, x is representative of the cost for each person who enters. Therefore, there would be 5 x’s and one 3 that when solved would add up to the total of $45 they spent. That would mean A is correct because the equation would be x + x + x + x + x + 3 = 45.
