If the opposite sides of a parallelogram are 3x – 5 and x + 3, then

1.	If the opposite sides of a parallelogram are 3x – 5 and x + 3, then x = ___
Answer» ong>ANSWER: ${ \bold{ \red{Given}}}$ ➣opposite sides of parallelogram are 3x-5 and X+3 ${ \bold{ \purple{Find}}}$ ➣The VALUE of x? ${ \bold{ \orange{Solution}}}$ We know that opposite sides of parallelogram are equal... ${ \sf{⟶3x - 5 = x + 3}}$ ${ \sf{⟶3x - x = 3 + 5}}$ ${ \sf{⟶2x = 8}}$ ${ \sf{⟶x = \frac{8}{2} }}$ ${ \sf{x = { \cancel{ \frac{8}{2} }} = 4}}$ ${ \boxed{ \therefore { \sf{value \: \: of \: \: x \: \: is \: \: 4}}}}$
