Find the value of the variable in the parallelogram. RZ = 2x + 6 SW = 5x – 27
X= (Simplify your answer.)
Since it is a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent. Therefore, we can set the expressions for the opposite sides equal to each other and solve for x:
2x + 6 = 5x - 27
Rearranging the equation:
4x = 33
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = 8.25
Therefore, the value of the variable is 8.25.
