This is like property of a parallelogram you have to do is basically follow its properties which is opposite sides are congruent
so we solve like this

subtract -3 on each side one is canceled since its equal to zero
and other is -3-5= -8

now subtract -3 on each side
-3x-x is -4 so,
-4x=8
divide its equal to 2
X=2
Hope it helps! have an awesome day you should probably study the properties of parallelogram
Answer: Sorry, I’m lazy today so I’ll just answer the first question, letter a. The answer is 30 cups of red paint.
Step-by-step explanation: Since you need 2 cups of blue paint and 4 cups of red paint, the ratio of the amount of cups you need for each paint is 1 cup of blue for every 2 cups of red. You need 15 cups of blue so you multiply it by 2 and you get 30. I hope this wasn’t confusing and I hope this helps. Please listen to you teacher because it would really help you on your work.
