In parallelogram DEFG, DH = x + 1, HF = 3y, GH = 3x – 4, and HE = 5y + 1. Find the values of x and y.

Question

The parallelogram has D at the top left E at the top right, G at the bottom left and and F at the bottom right with H in the middle.

Thank You ^0^

Answer 1

Since the diagonals bisect each other,

x+1 = 3y
3x-4 = 5y+1

x - 3y = -1
3x - 5y = 5

3x - 9y = -3
3x - 5y = 5

4y = 8
y=2
x=5

Answer 2

THank You :) I appreciate your help! :)

Answer 3

x = 5 and y = 2 does not work, I have tried.

Answer 4

yes it does work

Answer 5

It adds up 5+1=6
3 x 2=6
3(5)-4=11
5(2)+1=11
So they are correct.

Answer 6

How'd he get x=5, though?

Answer 7

how did he get 9y

Answer 8

Thanks Steve

Answer 9

holy crap it's been a decade and we're still struggling on the same exact questions

Answer 10

bruh this is trash, no wonder brainy is better

Answer 11

LOOOOOOL sdjf you funny and also right

Answer 12

BROO why is this question even a thingg, ITS BEEN A DECADE AND WE STILL HAVENT GOT IT LOLL

Answer 13

X = 5
Y = 2
