What values of x and y make RSTU a parallelogram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant show this one idk y

OpenStudy (amistre64):

40+2y ----- = 2x 2 16 = (40 +2y)/2 +y

OpenStudy (amistre64):

32 = 40+2y+2y -8 = 4y; y = -2 x = 9; lets dbl chk that tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and y equels -2 or postive 2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

40 = 4(9) -2(-2) 40 = 36 + 4 40 = 40 ...good 16 = 2(9)+(-2) 18 = 18-2 16 = 16 ...good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x equels 9 while y equals -2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes
