Answer:

The variables are:

x = 7

y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

We can use the above statement to find the variables in the given parallelogram as follows:


\begin{gathered} 9y+7=10y-3 \\ 10y-9y=7+3 \\ y=10 \end{gathered}

Similarly,


\begin{gathered} 12x-1=10x+13 \\ 12x-10x=13+1 \\ 2x=14 \\ x=(14)/(2)=7 \end{gathered}
