Answer:

  • b = 7
  • c = 5

Explanation:

Opposite sides of a parallelogram have the same length, so ...

5b +5c = 60

5b +4c = 55

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we get ...

c = 5

Substituting that into the first equation, we have ...

5b +5·5 = 60

5b = 35 . . . . . . . subtract 25

b = 7 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The values b = 7 and c = 5 will make this a parallelogram.
