Answer:

w=7

Explanation:

A parallelogram is defined as a four-sided plane rectilinear figure with opposite sides parallel. This means that GH and FE must be equivalent, and HE and GF must be equivalent. Now, we just use those equations to solve.
16w-63=7w
9w-63=0

9w=63

w=7!!!
and we can double check.

16w-81=15w-74
16w=15w+7
w=7
