Answer:

x = 13

Explanation:

You want to find x when one half of the diagonal of a parallelogram is 80 and the other half is 6x+2.

Diagonals

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so point Y is the midpoint of each. That means ...

VY = YX

80 = 6x +2 . . . . . substitute the given values

78 = 6x . . . . . . . subtract 2

13 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 6

The value of x is 13.
