Question

value: 2
what equation would you set up to solve for x?
o a. 5x - 8 = 3x
o b. 5x - 8 = 2x + 10
o c. 2x + 10 = 3x
o d. 2x + 10 + 3x = 5x - 8

Explanation:

Step1: Recall property of parallelogram diagonals

In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. So the segments of the diagonals are equal. Here, we assume the figure is a parallelogram and the two - part segments of one of the diagonals are $2x + 10$ and $3x$.

Step2: Set up the equation

Since the two segments of the diagonal are equal in length, we set up the equation $2x+10 = 3x$.

Answer:

C. $2x + 10=3x$
