Answer:
a = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly,we need to understand the properties of a parallelogram:
-Opposite sides are parallel by .
-Opposite sides are congruent.
-Opposite angles are congruent.
-The diagonals bisect each other.
Therefore in this case:
XW must be congruent to YZ.
WZ must be congruent to XY.

No, b/c one would be 3x + 2 while the other is 5x. plug in a few numbers and you'll see they're not the same
if you're solving for x,
start by isolating x squared to get
x^2 = 16 (we added 8 to both sides)
then square root each side:
sqrt of x^2 = x; sqrt of 16 = 4.
we end up with x = 4 (positive and neg)
if you're factoring
minus 8 from both sides to get
x^2 - 16
from there we can factor to get
(x + 4)(x - 4)
