Question

Find y of a paralagram

Answer 1

y = 15

Explanation:

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent.

5y - 20 = 2y + 25

3y = 45

y = 15

Answer 2

y = 15

Explanation:

The top and bottom sides have to be equal in length

5y-20 = 2y+25

Subtract 2y from each side

5y-2y-20 = 2y-2y+25

3y -20 = 25

Add 20 to each side

3y = 20+25

3y = 45

Divide each side by 3

3y/3 = 45/3

y = 15
