Question

HELP! I WILL GIVE METAL!

Quadrilateral JKLM has side lengths of JK = 2y + 3, KL = 8x – 10, LM = 5y – 6, and JM = 3x + 20. Find the values of x and y that make quadrilateral JKLM a parallelogram.

Answer 1

The Answers:

A.
x = 6, y = 6
B.
x = 6, y = 3
C.
x = 13, y = 3
D.
x = 2, y = 1

Answer 2

Since JK = LM then,
2y + 3 =5y - 6
2y - 5y = -6 - 3
- 3y = -9
y = 3

Since KL = JM then,
8x - 10 = 3x + 20
8x - 3x = 20 + 10
5x = 30
x = 6
