Question

GEOMETRY HELP PLEASE.

Answer 1

LMNO is a parallelogram.If NM = x+15 and OL = 4x +6, find the value of x and then find NM and OL.

Answer 2

About what

Answer 3

Well, since it is a parallelogram, you set NM = OL. Then you would get x=3. Each side would be 18.

Answer 4

it looks like this

Answer 5

so whats the valuce of x?

Answer 6

idk i am in 6ht grade so sorry

Answer 7

oh its okay (:

Answer 8

NM = x+15 and OL = 4x +6
And we know that NM = OL because a parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides.
Solve for x
x+15=4x+6

Answer 9

so what does x equal ?

Answer 10

You have to solve the equation
x+15=4x+6
Isolate the variable x on one side (what ever you do to one side of an equation you have to do to the other)
subtract x from both sides
x-x+15=4x-x+6
15=3x+6
subtract 6 from both sides
15-6=3x+6-6
11=3x
divide both sides by 3
\[\frac{11}{3} = \frac{3x}{3}\]
and you are left with 11/3 = x

Answer 11

but im left with afraction so do i have to divide 11 by 3 ?

Answer 12

You can use the fraction in NM = x+15 and OL = 4x +6
\[NM=\frac{11}{3} + 15\]

Answer 13

Do you know how to add fractions with unlike denominators?

Answer 14

no

Answer 15

\[\frac{11}{3}+\frac{15}{1}\]

Answer 16

Do ththis
