Answer:
x = 2 , y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other , then
PT = TR , that is
y = 5x + 1 → (1)
QT = TS , that is
2y = 6x + 10 → (2)
substitute y = 5x + 1 into (2)
2(5x + 1) = 6x + 10
10x + 2 = 6x + 10 ( subtract 6x from both sides )
4x + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 2
substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y
substituting into (1)
y = 5(2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11
