Answer:
VZ = 17, XZ = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, then
XV = VZ , that is
27 - 2x = 3x + 2 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
27 - 5x = 2 ( subtract 27 from both sides )
- 5x = - 25 ( divide both sides by - 5 )
x = 5
Then
VZ = 3x + 2 = 3(5) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
XZ = 2 VZ = 2 × 17 = 34
