Answer 1

Answer:

${ \bold{ \red{Given}}}$

➣opposite sides of parallelogram are 3x-5 and x+3

${ \bold{ \purple{Find}}}$

➣The value of x?

${ \bold{ \orange{Solution}}}$

We know that opposite sides of parallelogram are equal...

${ \sf{⟶3x - 5 = x + 3}}$

${ \sf{⟶3x - x = 3 + 5}}$

${ \sf{⟶2x = 8}}$

${ \sf{⟶x = \frac{8}{2} }}$

${ \sf{x = { \cancel{ \frac{8}{2} }} = 4}}$

${ \boxed{ \therefore { \sf{value \: \: of \: \: x \: \: is \: \: 4}}}}$
