Question

Classify the quadrilateral. Then find the values of the variables.

Answer 1

Trapezoid
Sides are congruent based on single hash marks on each.
Set equations equal to each other and solve.
5x - 1 = 3x + 5
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x - 1 = 5
Add 1 to both sides.
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 3
