Answer:
x=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
I always change the decimals into whole numbers by multiplying them by 10. If you do this, it is much easier to solve. All you do is multiply every term by 10.
the equation changes to
-5(x+3)-2x=41
-5x-15-2x=41
combine like terms
-7x-15=41
bring the 15 over to the 41
-7x=56
divide everything by 7
-x=8
change x to a positive
x=-8
In parallelograms, opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same lengths. So, we have:
y - 4x = 9
-x + 4 = y
Add x to both sides of the second equation:
y + x = 4
y - 4x = 9
This is a system of linear equations. Solve by eliminating the y and subtracting the two equations:
5x = -5
x = -1
Use x to solve for y:
y + (-1) = 4
y = 5
So, x = -1 and y = 5.

X=11
All you have to do is add 5 to both sides and then divide by 5 on both sides
