Question

Solve for x and y .

Answer 1

x = 4 and y = 2

Explanation:

Assuming the figure is a Parallelogram then

Opposite sides are parallel and equal, hence

17x - 64 = x ( subtract x from both sides )

16x - 64 = 0 ( add 64 to both sides )

16x = 64 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 4

Also 9y = 2y + 14 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

7y = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 2
