There is one question that says solve for the variables.There's a parallelogram, on the left it has 2y-7.On the right it has 9. On the bottom it has 23. And on the top it has 3x+2. Can you explain this to me please: Our teacher gave us these worksheets without explaining just to see what we know.

If the quadrilateral pictured is truly a parallelogram, then the opposite sides must be equal in length. That means that 2y-7=9 and 3x+2=23. Just solve the equations to determine the values of y and x.
