Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Math

Answer 2

Answer: Choice A) x = 4.2

===================================================

Work Shown:

If we want this figure to be a parallelogram, then the opposite sides EH and FG must be the same length.

Let's use that fact to solve for x.

EH = FG

17x-29 = 12x-8

17x-12x = -8+29

5x = 21

x = 21/5

x = 4.2; answer is choice A

------------

Extra info:

If x = 4.2, then,

• EH = 17x-29 = 17*4.2-29 = 42.4
• FG = 12x-8 = 12*4.2-8 = 42.4

Both EH and FG are 42.4 units long which helps confirm the answer.
