Question

Find values of x and y for which ABCD must be a parallelogram. The diagram is not to scale?

Answer 1

@ganeshie8 ? I'm really confused

Answer 2

So far I have
5y - 8 = y + 24
and
2x - 2 = x + 2

Answer 3

Did I miss anything?

Answer 4

you're right ! diagonals in a parallelogram bisect each other

Answer 5

Okay, do I solve them as a system of equations?

Answer 6

5y - 8 = y + 24

Answer 7

solve this for `y` first

Answer 8

Okay, so 4y = 16
y=4

Answer 9

And x=4

Answer 10

Am I right @ganeshie8 ?

Answer 11

there is a small mistake

Answer 12

5y - 8 = y + 24

4y = 32

y = 8
