given parallelogram opqr below, ps = 7. if sr = 6x + 7,
solve for x.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
x =

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of parallelogram diagonals

In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. So \(PS = SR\).

Step2: Set up the equation

Since \(PS = 7\) and \(SR=6x + 7\), we have the equation \(6x+7 = 7\).

Step3: Solve the equation for \(x\)

Subtract \(7\) from both sides: \(6x+7 - 7=7 - 7\), which simplifies to \(6x = 0\). Then divide both sides by \(6\): \(x=\frac{0}{6}=0\).

Answer:

\(0\)
