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 parallelograms

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal. So, \(XY = WZ\).

Step2: Set up the equation

We have \(16=1 + 15x\).

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(1\) from both sides: \(16-1=15x\), which gives \(15 = 15x\).
Divide both sides by \(15\): \(x=\frac{15}{15}\).

Answer:

\(x = 1\)
