Answer:

x=10

y=40

Explanation:

The shape is a parallelogram, therefore we know that opposite sides are equal to each other. So,

x + 18 = 3x - 2

Add 2 to both sides and subtract x from both sides

20 = 2x

divide both sides by 2

10 = x

Now, we have the other two sides;

4x = y

We already know that x = 10, so just plug that into the equation.

4(10) = y

40 = y
