Question

Find X & Y in the parallelogram. :)

Answer 1

in a parallelogram opposite sides are equal
Now you can solve this from here!

Answer 2

AB=CD and BC=DA

Answer 3

@FilthyMcNasty ..

Answer 4

There's already a pic up there? Is it the same one ?

Answer 5

let me make it clearer.

If AB= 2x+y
BC = x+2
CD = x + 12
DA = y + 6

Answer 6

Like that guy said up there:

in a parallelogram opposite sides are equal, so:

AB=CD & BC=DA

Answer 7

So fill in AB,CD,BC, & DA with their value.

Answer 8

Yep,,
so..
AB = CD
BC = DA;
12x+y = x+ 12
x + 2 = y+6

Answer 9

2x+y = x+ 12
x + 2 = y+6

lol, you made a little mistake

Answer 10

Oh right, sorry

Answer 11

Now, simplify the equations. Add like terms and such.

Answer 12

2x+y = x+ 12 x + 2 = y+6
-x -x -2 -2
x+y=12 x=y+4

(y+4) +y=12
2y+4=12
-4 -4
2y=8
y=4

We've found Y. now we can fill in Y in any of the equations to find X:

x+y=12 x+(4)=12
x=y+4 x=(4)+4 For both equations x is the same, X=8

x=8
y=4

Answer 13

sorry about yesterday, @FilthyMcNasty . And yes, your equations helped me a lot, Thank you again. :)
