Hi, beaza_509, 

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal. We know the side to the left of 1/4y is equal to fifteen. 

You need to substitute a number for y, that when multiplied by 1 and divided by 4, equals fifteen. 
All you have to do is plug in numbers, that when divided by 4, become 15. Since we know the right and left sides must be equal.

Therefore, the value of y must be equal to sixty. 

Because we know that 60/4 = 15. 

Therefore, the value of y becomes 15.
