Question

student belcher, cash
properties of parallelograms
solve for the unknown
variable (x).
answer: round to whatever you
see in the problem.
ok

Explanation:

Step1: Use property of parallelogram

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal.

Step2: Set up equation

\(22x + 8=40\)

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(8\) from both sides: \(22x=40 - 8\), so \(22x = 32\). Then \(x=\frac{32}{22}\approx3\) (rounded as per problem's indication).

Answer:

\(x = 3\)
