To be a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides must be equal in length, i.e. LM=ON and LO=MNLM=ON7x-4=8x-8 (-7x)-4=x-8 (+8) 4=xx=4LO=MN5y-7=x-9 (sub x=4)5y-7=4-9 5y-7=-5 (+7)5y=2 (/5)y=2/5Therefore,x=4y=2/5... Show More

opposite sides are congruent...did you make a diagram ? do it now !You have BAD information in your problem !ON = LM8x - 8 = 7x - 4solving for x gives: x = 4However, if x = 4, then NM (which you say is (x - 9)) would be NEGATIVE...CAN NOT HAVE A NEGATIVE DIMENSION !Check your problem, check your post...repost the problem correctly !...
