Answer:
y = 7/3 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this figure is a parallelogram, the opposite sides of the parallelogram are congruent, therefore:
2y-9 = y-2 and 3x+1 = 5x-1
y and x can now be found algebraically:
2y-9 = y-2 3x+1 = 5x-1
3y-9 = -2 -2x+1 = -1
3y = 7 -2x = -2
y = 7/3 x = 1
So y is 7/3 and x is 1. When showing your work I would also mark the opposite sides of the parallelogram as congruent to one another (see image as reference).
