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:
c) The given expression represents Addition Property of Equality.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given expression is j = k
Now by ADDITION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY:
The property that states that if you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the sides remain equal.
So, <u> if A = B ⇒ A + </u><u>x </u><u> = B + </u><u>x</u>
<u></u>
Now, here given that j = k
If we add the same number 9 on both the sides, the equation remains undisturbed.
⇒ j + 9 = k + 9
Hence, the above expression represents Addition Property of Equality.
Y = kx - 8. The variable k can be any negative value.
