Find x and y so the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Summary:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

As

The parallelogram PQRS is given, so

RT = TP

Given

plug in RT = x and TP = 5x-28 in the equation RT = TP

RT = TP

x = 5x-28

switch the sides

5x-28 = x

adding 28 in both sides

5x-28+28 = x+28

simplify

5x = x+28

subtract x from both sides

5x-x = x+28-x

4x = 28

divide boh sides by 4

4x ÷ 4 = 28  ÷ 4

simplify

x = 7

Therefore, we conclude that the value of x is: x = 7

Similarly,  

QT = TS

Given

plug in QT = 5y and TS = 2y+12 in the equation QT = TS

QT = TS  

5y = 2y+12

subtract 2y from both sides

5y - 2y = 2y+12-2y

simplify

3y = 12

divide both sides by 3

3y ÷ 3 = 12 ÷ 3

simplify

y = 4

Therefore, we conclude that the value of y is: y = 7

Summary:

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
