Answer:

VZ = 17, XZ = 34

Explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, then

XV = VZ , that is

27 - 2x = 3x + 2 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

27 - 5x = 2 ( subtract 27 from both sides )

- 5x = - 25 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = 5

Then

VZ = 3x + 2 = 3(5) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

XZ = 2 VZ = 2 × 17 = 34
