LEOG is the parallelogram.
this means that LE and OG are on opposite sides of the parallelogram.
opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel to each other.
opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent to each other.

this means that 5x-5 = 4x+1
solve for x in this equation.
you will get x = 6
that means the LE and OG are both equal to 25.
