Question

I have a parallelogram with three of the four angles given. The measures of these three angles given are:
(3x + 14), (2x - 4), and 2y. The angles (3x + 14) and 2y are diagonally opposite. Please help me solve for x and y

Answer 1

@triciaal

Answer 2

Do you know the total degrees within four angles?

Answer 3

360?

Answer 4

Sorry, but I'm a bit lost. It would appear to me that the missing angle is 2x-4. Could I say that 2x-4 + 2x-4 =180, and first solve for x?

Answer 5

And then set 3x+14 + 2y = 180, where x=47?

Answer 6

I do not believe so.

Answer 7

I only did what the question asked for which was to put two things diagonally opposite.

Answer 8

I have that picture given. The problem is to solve for the values of x and y

Answer 9

Is the picture considered to be right angles for all four sides?

Answer 10

No, it is a parallelogram, sorry I'm on an iPad and can't draw it

Answer 11

Ahh okay.

Answer 12

Top left corner is 3x+14, bottom left corner is 2x-4, bottom right corner is 2y. No value is given for top right

Answer 13

Well, with what @sshayer put I got the correct x value. So I would have to agree with what he put.
