Question

LMNO is a parallelogram. If NM = x + 37 and OL = 5x + 9 find the value of x.

x = 23

x = 7

x = 9

x = 14

Answer 1

NM and OL are opposite sides of the parallelogram and are therefore equal in length.

So x + 37 = 5x + 9

37 - 9 = 5x - x

4x = 28

x = 7 answer

Answer 2

the answer for this will be x=7
