Question

The given figure is a parallelogram find the value of x and y

Answer 1

In a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other.

7y - 2 = 5y + 4

7y - 2 - 5y = 4

2y - 2 = 4

2y = 4 +2

2y = 6

y = 6/2

y = 3

3x +2 = 23

3x = 23 - 2

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Answer 2

Explanation:

In a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other.

7y - 2 = 5y + 4

7y - 2 - 5y = 4

2y - 2 = 4

2y = 4 +2

2y = 6

y = 6/2

y = 3

3x +2 = 23

3x = 23 - 2

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7
