Question

N the parallelogram below, if AP = 112 and PC = 5x + 12, find x.

Answer 1

The two segments of the diagonal have the same value in a parallelogram, then

`AP=PC`

Therefore

`\begin{gathered} 112=5x+12 \\ \\ 5x=112-12 \\ \\ 5x=100 \\ \\ x=(100)/(5) \\ \\ x=20 \end{gathered}`

The correct answer is the letter A. 20
