Answer:

x = 4 and y = 9

Explanation:

This is a parallelogram, which we can tell because of the arrows. Basically, opposite sides are parallel. By definition, then, opposite sides of this polygon are equal: LM = ON and LO = MN. That means we can set the various expressions equal to each other:

LM = ON ⇒ 6x - 7 = 2x + 9 ⇒ 4x = 16 ⇒ x = 4

LO = MN ⇒ 12 = y + 3 ⇒ y = 9

Thus, x = 4 and y = 9.

Hope this helps!

It's a parallelogram, opposite sides congruent.

6x - 7 = 2x + 9

4x = 16

x = 4

12 = y + 3

9 = y

Answer: x=4, y=9
