2x+3y and 17-4y

Question

find the vaulues of x and y in the parallelagram below

Answer 1

parallelogram

2 sides are 2x+3y each

other 2 sides are 17 -4y each

let all 4 sides be equal, and each = 10, then

2x+3y = 17 -4y = 10

y = 7/4

2x +3(7/4) = 10

2x = 10 -21/4 = 10-5.25= 4.75

x = 2.375

(x,y) = (1.75, 2.375)
