Question

Determine the value of x using the diagram below. Around your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

`x=-3.67`

Step-by-step explanation

The given figure is a parallelogram. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

This implies that:

`5x+7=2x-4`

To solve for x, collect like terms and simplify:

`\begin{gathered} 5x-2x=-4-7 \\ 3x=-11 \\ x=(-11)/(3) \\ x=-3.67 \end{gathered}`

That is the value of x to the nearest hundredth.
