Question

The question is in the picture.

Answer 1

x = 9 , y = 5

Explanation:

Consider the figure to be a parallelogram.

• the diagonals bisect each other

then

2x - 4 = x + 5 ( subtract x from both sides )

x - 4 = 5 ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 9

and

9y - 13 = 5y + 7 ( subtract 5y from both sides )

4y - 13 = 7 ( add 13 to both sides )

4y = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 5
