Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
diagonals bisect each other so we can set up these equations:
x+8 = 2y+5
2x = 3y
in the top equation we can solve for 'x': x = 2y-3
in the second equation we can solve for 'x': x = 3y/2
2y-3 = 3y/2
multiply each side by 2 to eliminate fractions:
4y - 6 = 3y
4y = 3y + 6
y = 6
2x = 3(6)
2x = 18
x = 9
