I attached the picture associated with this question.
Answer:
x = 2
y = 5
Explanation:
ABCD is a parallelogram. This means that each two opposite sides are equal.
This means that:
1- AB = CD
2y + 1 = 7x - 3 ...........> equation I
2- AD = BC
3x = y + 1
This can be rewritten as:
y = 3x - 1............> equation II
Substitute with equation II in equation I and solve for x as follows:
2y + 1 = 7x - 3 ...........> equation I
2(3x - 1) + 1 = 7x - 3
6x - 2 + 1 = 7x - 3
6x - 1 = 7x - 3
7x - 6x = -1 + 3
x = 2
Substitute with x in equation I to get y as follows:
y = 3x - 1
y = 3(2) - 1
y = 6 - 1
y = 5
Hope this helps :)
