Answer:

x=8

y=13

Step-by-step explanation:

This shape is a parallelogram, and in a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect eachother. So then, you can write to equations:

2x=y+3

x+5=y

This is equal to:

2x-y=3

x-y=-5

Then, you can subtract the two equations, making it:

2x-y=3

-x+y=5

Then the result will be:

x=8

Now that we know what x is, you can find y by plugging it in to either equation.

8-y=-5

-y=-13

y=13
