1. **State the problem:** We need to find values of $x$ and $y$ such that quadrilateral $ABCD$ is a parallelogram.
2. **Key property:** In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This means the two segments of each diagonal are equal.
3. **Set up equations for diagonal $AC$:**
$$4x - 2 = x + 28$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
$$4x - 2 = x + 28$$
$$4x - \cancel{2} = x + 28$$
$$4x - x = 28 + 2$$
$$3x = 30$$
$$x = \frac{30}{3} = 10$$
5. **Set up equations for diagonal $DB$:**
$$4y - 7 = y + 14$$
6. **Solve for $y$:**
$$4y - 7 = y + 14$$
$$4y - \cancel{7} = y + 14$$
$$4y - y = 14 + 7$$
$$3y = 21$$
$$y = \frac{21}{3} = 7$$
7. **Conclusion:** For $ABCD$ to be a parallelogram, $x=10$ and $y=7$.
**Final answer:** $x=10$, $y=7$
