Question

FIND THE VALUE OF X IN THE PARALLELOGRAM (give me a min to draw the diagram)

IK= 35

Answer 1

FROM I TO THE MIDPOINT IS 4X+3

Answer 2

(4x+3)=35/2
Solve for x.

Answer 3

can you break it down for me?

Answer 4

IK=35, half of IK=35/2=17.5
Since from I to the mid-point of IK is 4x+3, so we form the equation:
4x+3=35/2=17.5
Subtract 3 from each side,
4x = 14.5
x = 14.5/4 = 29/8

Answer 5

the answers 3 and 5/8

Answer 6

if i divide 14.5 by 4 i get 13.6 with one left over????

Answer 7

how do i get 3 5/8

Answer 8

If you convert the fraction 29/8 to a mixed number, you'll get 3 5/8.

Answer 9

i need help with the dividing part

Answer 10

You multiply both sides by to to get
8x=29
or
x=29/8
Divide 29 by 8 you get 3 with 5 left over, or 3 5/8.

Answer 11

wait. im at the part where it 4x=14.5

Answer 12

exactly,
so multiply both sides by 2:
8x = 29

Answer 13

why by 2?

Answer 14

To convert 14.5 to a whole number.
