Question

Find the values of x and y so that GHJK is a dart. Be sure to show all work .

Answer 1

Explanation:

In dart, adjacent sides are equal

JK = GK

3x - 9 = x + 13 {Add 9 to both sides}

3x = x + 13 + 9

3x = x + 22 {Subtract 'x' from both sides}

3x -x = 22

2x = 22 {Divide both sides by 2}

x = 22/2

x = 11

JH = GH

9y = 5y + 8 {Subtract 5y from both sides}

9y - 5y = 8

4y = 8 {Divide both sides by 4}

y = 8/4

y = 2
