Since it's divided equally diagonally, 4x+17 and 5x+11 are equal.

Let's set them equal to each other and solve.]


4x+17=5x+11

Subtract 4x from both sides to combine like terms.


17=x+11

Now subtract 11 from both sides to isolate the variable and solve for x.


6=x

Flip the equation to put in standard form and now you have x :)


x=6

hope this helped!

Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

• the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other , then

5x + 11 = 4x + 17 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x + 11 = 17 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

x = 6
