Question

FWML is a parallelogram. Find the values of x and y. Solve for the value of z, if z=x−y.

Answer 1

x = 5, y = 8, z = -3

Explanation:

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent so to find x:

x + 7 = 3x - 3

-2x = -10

x = 5

To find y:

y + 2 = 2y - 6

-y = -8

y = 8

Therefore, z = x - y = 5 - 8 = -3.
