Answer 5

@bubblez20133 hi :)
\(\huge \color{red}{\text{Welcome to Open Study}}\ddot\smile\)

as @Xavier said, 'Diagonals of a rectangle are of equal length'
means we equate hj=ik
so, 19+2x=3x+22
can you find 'x' from here ?

Answer 6

I can try and thank you I appreciate you welcome.

Answer 7

i got x=3

Answer 8

very close, its actually, x=-3

Answer 9

so why is it negative 3

Answer 10

19+2x=3x+22
subtracting 2x from both sides,
19 = x +22
subtracting 22 from both sides,
x = 19-22 = -3

Answer 11

ohhhh thanks you are so helpful

Answer 12
