1. **Problem Statement:** Find the values of $x$ and $y$ in the parallelogram with side lengths labeled as $2x + 2$, $2y + 2$, $3x - 7$, and $3y - 11$.
2. **Key Property:** In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal in length.
3. **Set up equations:**
- Opposite sides equality gives:
$$2x + 2 = 3x - 7$$
$$2y + 2 = 3y - 11$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
$$2x + 2 = 3x - 7$$
Subtract $2x$ from both sides:
$$2 = x - 7$$
Add $7$ to both sides:
$$x = 9$$
5. **Solve for $y$:**
$$2y + 2 = 3y - 11$$
Subtract $2y$ from both sides:
$$2 = y - 11$$
Add $11$ to both sides:
$$y = 13$$
6. **Final answer:**
$$x = 9, \quad y = 13$$
This completes the solution for the first parallelogram problem.
