Question

Find the value of BC B 4x - 10 C A D 3x + 5

Answer 1

BC = 50

Explanation:

BC = AD

4x - 10 = 3x + 5

4x - 3x = 5 + 10

x = 15

for BC

4x - 10

4*15 - 10

60 - 10

50

Answer 2

BC = 50

Explanation:

BC = AD in a parallelogram

4x-10 = 3x+5

Subtract 3x from each side

4x-3x-10 = 3x-3x+5

x-10 = 5

Add 10 to each side

x-10+10 = 5+10

x = 15

BC = 4x-10 = 4*15-10 = 60-10 = 50
