17. for the parallelogram, find the value of the variables. show your work. 5x + 2 3y - 6 21 17 24=3y-6 => 30=3y, y=10, 12 = 5x+2 => 10=5x, x =2 basically parallel sides must have the same length (parallelogram)

In this problem, you have already shown the solution.

24 = 3y - 6 => 30 = 3y, y =10

12 = 5x + 2 => 10 = 5x , x = 2

And yes, basically parallel sides must have the same length

These are the answers:

for 17.) x = 2
y = 10

for 18.) mid segment = (side 1 + side 2) / 2 -->
19 = (24 + side2) / 2 -->
38 = 24 + side2,

thus, side 2 = 14 units

Aso sorry if i’m wrong
