Answer:

x = 8/3

y = 7/3

Explanation:

In a parallelogram the diagonals bisect each other.

So 2x = y + 3

x + y = 5

Then you set them up to do combination/elimination to solve for the two variables.

2x-y = 3

Then you add the two equations together

3x = 8

Solve for x

x = 8/3

Then solve for y by plugging it into a equation

x + y = 5

8/3 + y = 5

8/3 - 5 = -y

8/3 - 15/3 = -y

-7/3 = -y

y = 7/3
