Answer:
The value of x is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- In the parallelogram, every two opposite sides are equal in lengths
Let us solve the question
In the given figure
∵ LMNK is a parallelogram
∵ ML and NK are opposite sides
→ By using the rule above
∴ ML = NK
∵ ML = 22
∵ NK = 12x - 2
→ Equate them
∴ 12x - 2 = 22
→ Add 2 to both sides
∵ 12x - 2 + 2 = 22 + 2
∴ 12x = 24
→ Divide both sides by 12
∴ x = 2
