Answer:

x = 18 y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5 = 2x - 13

x - 2x = -13 - 5

-x = -18

x = 18

2y - 2 = 4y - 12

2y - 4y = -12 + 2

-2y = -10|:(-2)

y = 5

Answer:

x = 18, y = 5, AB = 23, BC = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, so

DC = AB , that is

2x - 13 = x + 5 ( subtract x from both sides )

x - 13 = 5 ( add 13 to both sides )

x = 18

and

BC = AD , that is

4y - 12 = 2y - 2 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

2y - 12 = - 2 ( add 12 to both sides )

2y = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 5

Then

AB = x + 5 = 18 + 5 = 23

BC = 4y - 12 = 4(5) - 12 = 20 - 12 = 8

Answer:

250 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems that you are learning the side-splitter theorem right now. If a line is parallel to one side of the triangle and intersects the other two sides, it divides the side proportionally. From the picture we can tell that the streets are parallel, with a line of intersection. Therefore, we can create the following equation of proportionality:

$\frac{375}{300} = \frac{x}{200}$
