Applying Properties of Parallelograms, Rhombi, Rectangles, and Squares

Given the following parallelogram: Solve for x,
19x + 8
17% - 50

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x = 21

Explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so the two marked segments are the same length.

17x + 50 = 19x + 8

42 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 8+17x

21 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
