Find the value of x and y using the diagram below.

[tex]\huge\underline{\red{A}\green{n}\blue{s}\purple{w}\pink{e}\orange{r} →}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
As the given figure is a rectangle, therefore the opposite sides should be equal. So -
3x + y = 12 – y...(eqn (i) )
and
y – x = x – 1...(eqn (ii) )
Solving eqn (ii) we get -
→ y – x = x – 1
→ y = x + x – 1
→ y = 2x – 1...eqn(iii)
Solving eqn (i) we get -
→ 3x + y = 12 – y
→ 3x = 12 – y – y
→ 3x = 12 – 2y
Substituting the value of eqn (iii)
→ 3x = 12 – 2(2x– 1)
→ 3x = 12 – 4x + 2
→ 3x + 4x = 14
→ 7x = 14
→ x = 14/7
→ x = 2
Answer:
x = 2; y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the quadrilateral has 4 right angles, it is a rectangle.
In a rectangle, opposite sides are congruent.
3x + y = 12 - y
x - 1 = y - x
We have a system of two equation is 2 variables.
Let's simplify both equations.
3x + 2y = 12
2x - y = 1
Rewrite the first equation. Multiply both sides of the second equation by 2. Add the equations.
3x + 2y = 12
(+) 4x - 2y = 2
-------------------------
7x = 14
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 2
Substitute 2 for x in the second original equation and solve for y.
x - 1 = y - x
2 - 1 = y - 2
1 = y - 2
y = 3
Answer: x = 2; y = 3
