Hello. . .

I need help please. . .

Nonsense answers, or answers that's not the question I ask for will be reported.

Answer 1

x = 1 , y = 4

Explanation:

I am assuming you're looking for what x and y are? If so, then we know that

DC and AB equal each other, so

4x + y = 8

CB and AD equal each other, so

2x + y = 6

We have two equations that cannot be solved on their own, so we must solve them as a system of equations. One process to solve is elimination.

4x + y = 8

2x + y = 6

we can multiply the second equation all by -1 to make the y's cancel out and give us x. so,

4x + y = 8

-1(2x + y) = 6

4x + y = 8

-2x -y = -6

now solve them vertically. we get:

2x = 2

and so x = 1.

Now that we found x, we must find y. Using any of the two equations froom above, we can substitue our x value of 1 into it to find y. I will use the first one.

4x + y = 8

4(1) + y = 8

4 + y = 8

y = 8 - 4

y = 4

so our x is 1 and y is 4.

hope this helps! (:
