Question

Consider the diagram below.
Find the value of x
Enter each line of work as an equation.

Answer 1

• 5x-16=4
• 5x=4+16
• 5x=20
• x=20/5
• x=4

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

We know that,

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel.

Then the value of x will be,

→ 5x - 16 = 4

→ 5x = 4 + 16

→ 5x = 20

→ x = 20/5

→ [ x = 4 ]

Verification of the value of x,

→ 5x - 16 = 4

→ 5(4) - 16 = 4

→ 20 - 16 = 4

→ 4 = 4

→ [ LHS = RHS ]

Hence, the value of x is 4.
