Information Given:
-----------------------------------------------
ON = 7x - 9
LM = 6x + 4
MN = x - 7
OL = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Since it is a parallelogram:
-----------------------------------------------
ON = LM and
MN = OL
-----------------------------------------------
ON = LM:
-----------------------------------------------
7x - 9 = 6x + 4
-----------------------------------------------
Subtract 6x from both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
x - 9 = 4
-----------------------------------------------
Add 9 to both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
x = 13
-----------------------------------------------
MN = OL:
-----------------------------------------------
x - 7 = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Sub x = 13:
-----------------------------------------------
13 - 7 = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Simplify:
-----------------------------------------------
6 = 2y - 7
-----------------------------------------------
Add 7 on both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
13 = 2y
-----------------------------------------------
Divide by 2:
-----------------------------------------------
y = 13/2
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 13, y = 13/2 (Answer D)
-----------------------------------------------
Answer:
x > -4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for x by dividing -3 to both side leaving x by itself.
When dividing or multiplying a negative value that has a variable the inequality switches sides. Instead of x < -4 it is x > -4. For more information or to understand inequality search for inequality video online.
This is how to solve this
As division is the inverse of multiplication, the rules for division are the same as the rules for multiplication. So when multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers remember this: If the signs are the same the answer is positive, if the signs are different the answer is negative.
