Where is M?
Answered by

I can only assume M is the intersection of the diagonals, since there seems to be a line from each vertex to M.
In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. That means, assuming that ABCD are the vertices labeled in order,
AM=CM and BM=DM
7y+13 = 2y+38
5y = 25
y=5
22-3x = 10+9x
12x = 12
x=1
Looking at all my assumptions, maybe you can see why it is important to explain fully any diagrams you intend to use...
