If DC=6x+2y, BC=3x+2y, AB=25, and AD=14, then x=___ and y=_____
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

You forgot to notice in the condition that the quadrilateral ABCD is kind of parallelogram (my be rectangle).


Then use he property of a parallelogram to have the opposite sides congruent.

It will give you the equations

6x + 2y = 25,
3x + 2y = 14.

And the solutions x =  and y = .
