Question

Given parallelogram ABCD, solve for X

Answer 1

Opposite sides are equal in a parallelogram, so
16+2x=10+8x
10x=6
x=0.6

Answer 2

The calculated value of x in the parallelogram is 1

How to determine the value of x in the parallelogram

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The parallelogram

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal

So, we have

16 + 2x = 10 + 8x

Collecting the like terms, we have

6x = 6

So, we have

x = 1

Hence, the value of x in the parallelogram is 1
