A parrallelogram P Q R S all inter sect at T 

PT=Y

TR=4X+1

QT=2Y

TS=3X+12

Solve for X and Y

The meaning of your question is not clear ://

 

I assume P Q R and S are all points.  How can they intersect at another point.  It makes no sense.

If we assume Kallamoar meant that the diagonals intersect at T, then using the fact that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other we have:

 

Y = 4X + 1                  (1)

2Y = 3X + 12              (2)

 

Subtract eqn(2) from 2*eqn(1):     0 = 5X - 10   so   5X = 10   or  X = 2

 

Substitute this into eqn(1) to get   Y = 4*2 + 1    or  Y = 9
