<u>Given</u>:
Given that the parallelogram with the lengths 5x, 3x + 1, 2y - 5 and y.
We need to determine the values of x and y.
<u>Values of x and y:</u>
We know the property that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
Thus, we have;
------- (1)
------- (2)
The value of x and y can be determined using the substitution method.
Substituting equation (2) in equation (1), we have;
Thus, the value of x is 3.
Substituting x = 3 in equation (2), we have;
Thus, the value of y is 10.
