Question

find the value of $x$ and $y$ in the parallelogram below.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
$x = square$ $y = square$

Explanation:

Step1: Use property of parallelogram (opposite sides equal)

For \(x\): \(-6x + 1=55\)
\(-6x=55 - 1\)
\(-6x=54\)
\(x=\frac{54}{-6}=-9\)

Step2: Use property of parallelogram (opposite sides equal)

For \(y\): \(-y + 9=127\)
\(-y=127 - 9\)
\(-y=118\)
\(y=-118\)

Answer:

\(x = -9\), \(y=-118\)
