Answer:

x = 12

y = -2

Explanation:

In a parallelogram, the sides opposite each other are equal.

Hence: PQ = SR and PS = QR

2x + 12 = 4x - 12

Rearrange to make x's on one side and the numbers on the other

4x - 2x = 12 + 12

2x = 24

x = 12

____________

y + 25 = 6y + 35

Rearrange to make y's on one side and the numbers on the other

6y - y = 25 - 35

5y = -10

y = -2
