Find the the value f y in the parallelogram.
A.2
B. 1.5
C. 0.5
D. 7.5

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
All parallelograms have diagonals which bisect each other. This means the diagonals intersect and create equal lengths.
5y = 3x + 6
8x - 2 = 4x
Solve for x using 8x - 2 = 4x. Then substitute x into the other equation.
8x - 2 = 4x
-2 = -4x
1/2 = x
Substitute x = 1/2.
5y = 3(1/2) + 6
5y = 3/2 + 6
5y = 3/2 + 12/2
5y = 15/2
y = 15/10
y = 3/2 or 1.5
