Question

In parallelogram DEFG, DH equals X +3, HF equals 3Y, GH equals 2X -5 and HE equals 5Y plus to find the values of X and Y

Answer 1

The values of X and Y are 30 and 11 respectively

How to determine the values of X and Y?

The figure that represents the complete question is added as an attachment

The given parameters are:

DH = X +3

HF  = 3Y

GH = 2X -5

HE = 5Y

From the attached parallelogram, we have:

DH = HF

GH = HE

Substitute the known values in the above equation

X + 3 = 3Y

2X - 5 = 5Y

Make X the subject in X + 3 = 3Y

X = 3Y - 3

Substitute X = 3Y - 3 in 2X - 5 = 5Y

2(3Y - 3) - 5 = 5Y

Expand

6Y - 6 - 5 = 5Y

Evaluate the like terms

Y = 11

Substitute Y = 11 in X = 3Y - 3

X = 3*11 - 3

Evaluate

X = 30

Hence, the values of X and Y are 30 and 11 respectively
