Question

So I worked this problem out and I just want to know if I did it correctly. I'll upload the problem and then my steps.

Answer 1

This is a parallelogram ABCD, and it says AB = 2y + 1, BC = y+ 1, CD = 7x-3 and DA=3x. Find the missing values

Answer 2

So here is what I did:
1. 2y + 1 = 7x - 3, y=7/2x-2
2. 7/2x-2+1=3x, x = 2
3. 2y + 1 = 7(2)-3, which got me y=5, so I got y=5 and x=2

Answer 3

looks correct :)

Answer 4

Yay! Thank you :)

Answer 5

1. why - 2 and not - 4 ?

Answer 6

+1 on the other side with -3 make -4 or not ?

Answer 7

It just makes sense to me this way, I don't really see what you are saying.

Answer 8

on the first point

2y+1= 7x-3

2y = 7x-4

y = (7x-4)/2

Answer 9

Ah I see, well, that's just another way to do it I guess. This is just where my brain jumps to.

Answer 10

so this is bc dont use where necessary parantheses

Answer 11
