Question

Use the given information to solve for x.In parallelogram ABCD, M

Answer 1

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent, this means that

m∠B = m∠D

5x = x + 16

x is adding on the right, then it will subtract on the left

5x - x = 16

4x = 16

4 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right

x = 16/4

x = 4
