If RS= 20, UT = x + 10, RU = y + 3, and ST = 15, find the values of x and y.


x = 10, y = 12
x = 30, y = 18
x = 5, y = 17
x = 23, y = 25
Cant figure this out just explain, try not to give me the answers!!!

P.S. you guys and gals are incredible, very nice!!!
thanks from the bottom of my heart!!!

Is the figure RSTU supposed to be a rectangle? If not, I don't see how you can get specific values for x and y. It could be any of an infinite group of quadrilaterals.

x = 10, y = 12 leaves you with a rectangle
