In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal in length. That means in parallelogram WXYZ, we have:

WZ = XY

From your provided expressions, we have:
\[ 4s + 25 = 10s - 11 \]

To find the value of \( s \), we can set up the equation by isolating \( s \):

1. Move \( 4s \) to the right side:
\[ 25 = 10s - 4s - 11 \]

2. Simplify the equation:
\[ 25 + 11 = 6s \]
\[ 36 = 6s \]

3. Finally, divide both sides by 6:
\[ s = 6 \]

So, the correct value of \( s \) is **s = 6**.
