YWXZ is a parallelogram with diagonals that intersect at point S. If YS = 34 and SX = 2x - 10, find x
34=2x-10

9 is it took the online test already
To find the value of x in this parallelogram YWXZ, we can use the fact that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. This means that the length of YS is equal to the length of SX.
Given that YS = 34 and SX = 2x - 10, we can set up the equation:
YS = SX
Substituting the given values, we have:
34 = 2x - 10
To solve for x, we can isolate the variable by performing the following steps:
Adding 10 to both sides of the equation:
34 + 10 = 2x - 10 + 10
44 = 2x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
44/2 = 2x/2
22 = x
Therefore, the value of x in this situation is 22.
