Answer 1

x = 1.67

Explanation:

We know that in a parallel, opposite sides are parallel and congruent, therefore we can solve for x, by:

(BC) = (AD)

16x - 15 = 30 - 11x

(+11x) + 16x - 15 = 30

27x - 15 = 30

27x = 45

x = 45/27

x = 1.67

Therefore, x = 1.67

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, set the sides BC and AD equal to each other (we can do this because we are told that the figure is a parallelogram, and those sides are congruent as stated in the properties of a parallelogram).

16x - 15 = 30 + 11x

Subtract 11x from both sides of the equation.

5x - 15 = 30

Add 15 to both sides of the equation.

5x = 45

Divide both sides of the equation by 5.

x = 9

So, the answer is 9, which is equal to x.
