A parallelogram has two pairs of congruent opposite sides. For quadrilateral ABCD to be a parallelogram, sides AB and CD must be congruent, and sides AD and BC must be congruent.
AB = CD
2y + 2 = 3y - 9
-y = -11
y = 11
AD = BC
3x + 6 = y + 4
We already know y = 11, so we substitute 11 for y.
Answer: A. Alice could have 6 and Claire have 18 and if Alice has 12 apples and Claire has 36 apples and then Alice has 18 apples and Claire has 54 apples.
B= 1:3 For every 1 apple Alice has Claire has 3 apples
