Well, you know opposite sides of parallelograms are congruent, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

So... you can set up two equations that result from that fact... namely, that the measures of opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 5x-2y=4 and 5-x=y

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yes, actually. So now, it's just solve the system of linear equations. :) Get to it, champ :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=2 and y=3?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Very good. And now you're done :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you
