Question

Find the values of x and y that make the following quadrilateral a parallelogram.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3 and y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent. Hence,

1) 7y + 2 = 6y + 16

I. e. 7y - 6y = 16 - 2

I. e. y = 14

2) 8x + 8 = 6x + 14

I. e. 8x - 6x = 14 - 8

I. e. 2x = 6

I. e. x = 6/2

I. e. x = 3
