Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of parallelogram

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal. So \(JM = KL\).

Step2: Set up the equation

We have \(2x + 3=3x + 1\).

Step3: Solve the equation

Subtract \(2x\) from both sides: \(3=x + 1\).
Subtract \(1\) from both sides: \(x=2\).

Answer:

\(x = 2\)
