Question

Find m so that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Enter your answer as a number.

Answer 1

m=6

Explanation:

For this figure to be a parallelogram, the sides must be the same length

4m+2 = 3m+8

Subtract 3m from each side

4m+2-3m = 3m+8-3m

m+2 =8

Subtract 2 from each side

m+2-2 =8-2

m=6
