PLEASE HELP ME! I don't know how to do this problem. find the values of x and y for which abcd must be a parallelogram http://media.education2020.com/EVresources/647-06-03-00-00_files/i0030000.jpg

OpenStudy (amistre64):

IF it is to be a parallelagram, then opposite sides of the "cross" must be equal

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when does: 2x-3=x+4 ? 5y-5=y+11 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, can you show me the whole work how to do this? that would be very helpful :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and sorry i took awhile. i though tno1 was gonna reply back, so i closed my browser out. hope your still there to help me..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this site is having loading issues today. as is, i think you should be capable enough to solve the setup I provided. Im not sure that I really need to try to teach you how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2x-3=x+4 if you want to step me thru this, I will let you know if you are doing it correctly or not tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know how to add and all that. i just forgot how to solve the problem. nvm i think i got it.. thanks

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the main object is to get the variable stuff to one side and everything else to the other 2x-3=x+4 -x+3 -x+3 ----------- x = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yay thats what i had. thanks! how do you find x? o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean y haha

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that was x, finding y is the same process

OpenStudy (amistre64):

:)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

5y-5=y+11 subtract y from each side, what does that elave us?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

*leave us

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so I crossed out all of them but 11+5 which equals 16. but 16 is not in my answer choice. the closest is 15 lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, for y we do get a 15 but 4y = 16 , so y=4

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i just cant type today :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh right! you add them up and then divide them? thanksss. i love youuuu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me too lol. okay. i wont make you type now haha

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good luck ;)
