y-2 = 38

parallel side have the same length in a parallelogram

add 2 to each side

y =40

17 = x+3

parallel side have the same length in a parallelogram

subtract 3 from each side

14 =x


opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram

124 = 2u

divide by 2

u = 63

angles on the same side add to 180

124+ v-3 =180

121+v=180

v = 59
