Answer:
Yes one pair of the opposite sides could measure 10 inches , and the other pair could measure 13 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
A parallelogram have opposite sides parallel and congruent
the given quadrilateral is a parallelogram then
10 = x + 2 Equation A
x + 5 = 2x - 3 Equation B
<u>Solving for Equation A:</u>
x = 10 -2 = 8 inches
<u>Solving for Equation B;</u>
2x - x = 5 + 3
x = 8 inches
<em>Value X are the same equations.</em>
<em>Means that </em>
<em>For x=8 inches opposite side</em>
<em><u>So Yes one pair of the opposite sides could measure 10 inches , and the other pair could measure 13 inches.</u></em>

Answer:
So Cody increase his savings by 87.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given Cody's original savings = $40
