Question

Use the given information to solve for x.In parallelogram ABCD, AB 2x - 2 and DC = x + 76.

Answer 1

x = 78

Explanation:

In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are parallel and equal.

line AB is parallel to line DC

AB = DC

AB = 2x - 2

DC = x + 76

2x - 2 = x + 76

2x - x = 76 + 2

x = 78
