Question

Find the value of x for which ABCD must be a parallelogram.

If your answer is not a whole number, write your answer in fractional form as a/b.​

Answer 1

`x = (5)/(3)`

Explanation:

Parallelogram

It's a quadrilateral formed by two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite sides have equal lengths.

We are given a parallelogram with opposite sides of 3x+1 and 6x-4. They must be equal, thus:

6x - 4 = 3x + 1

Subtracting 3x:

3x - 4 = 1

Adding 4:

3x = 5

Dividing by 3:

`\mathbf{x = (5)/(3)}`
