Question

Find the value of x in the
following parallelogram:
2x - 5
X + 10
x = [?]

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

Opposite sides in a parallelogram are equal.

2x - 5 = x + 10

Subtract x and add 5 on both sides.

2x - x = 10 + 5

Combine like terms.

x = 15

Answer 2

`\boxed{\red {x= 15}}`

Explanation:

We know that opposite sides in a parallelogram are equal.

So, in this sum value of the sides in a parallelogram

`x + 10 \: \: \: and \: \: \: 2x - 5`

So now let's create an equation

`x + 10 = 2x - 5`

Now let's solve for x

`x + 10 = 2x - 5 \\ 10 + 5 = 2x - x \\ 15 = x`
