Question

solve for x in the parallelogram below. n 5x + 2 k m 17 l a. 17 b. 3 c. 3.8 d. 14

Explanation:

Step1: Recall parallelogram property

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal. So, $NK = ML$.

Step2: Set up the equation

We have $5x + 2=17$.

Step3: Solve for x

Subtract 2 from both sides: $5x=17 - 2$, so $5x = 15$. Then divide both sides by 5: $x=\frac{15}{5}=3$.

Answer:

B. 3
