In rectangle ABCD, AC=4x+6 and BD=5x-1. Find the value of x. A)9 B)3 C)7 D)6
5x-1=4x+6 solve
Simplifying 5x + -1 = 4x + 6 Reorder the terms: -1 + 5x = 4x + 6 Reorder the terms: -1 + 5x = 6 + 4x Solving -1 + 5x = 6 + 4x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-4x' to each side of the equation. -1 + 5x + -4x = 6 + 4x + -4x Combine like terms: 5x + -4x = 1x -1 + 1x = 6 + 4x + -4x Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0 -1 + 1x = 6 + 0 -1 + 1x = 6 Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + 1x = 6 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + 1x = 6 + 1 1x = 6 + 1 Combine like terms: 6 + 1 = 7 1x = 7 Divide each side by '1'. x = 7 Simplifying x = 7
We know that two diagonals in the rectangle are equal so, in the given rectangle AC, BD are diagonals,,,, AC = BD
i.e, AC = BD 4x+6=5x-1
Not only diagonals opposite side are also equal in rectangle.....
