Question

CHNY is a parallelogram whose diagonals intersect at point A. Find the value of x if:

CH=5x-2
NA=2x+3
AY=4x-7
HN=7x+5
YH=42

someone pls helppp

Answer 1

Since CHNY is a parallelogram, HN = CY. Also, since diagonals CH and NY intersect at point A, we have:

HN + NA = AY (1)

Substituting the given values, we get:

(7x + 5) + (2x + 3) = 4x - 7

Simplifying and solving for x, we get:

9x = -15

x = -5/3

Therefore, the value of x is -5/3.
