Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• x = 7; AB = 30
• y = 5; BX = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are the same length.

  AB = CD

  5x -5 = 3x +9

  2x = 14

  x = 7

  AB = 5(7) -5)

  AB = 30

__

The diagonals of a parallelogram are bisected by each other.

  XB = XD

  7y -10 = 5y

  2y = 10

  y = 5

  BX = 7(5) -10

  BX = 25
