answer:

x = 4

y = 19

step-by-step explanation:

we know that this is a parallelogram, so opposite sides are equal
this is one of the properties of a parallelogram

therefore,

segment AB = segment DC and segment AD = segment BC

now plug in the expressions according to what we know (& solve)

AB = DC

5x - 13 = 9x - 29

-13 = 4x - 29

16 = 4x

x = 4

AD = BC

3y - 11 = 2y + 8

y - 11 = 8

y = 19

HOw do I solve x+16=9x?

ElenaW [278]

Subtract x from the left side to get
16=8x

Now divide by 8 on both sides to get x by it self

16÷8
8x÷8

x=2
