For parallelogram ABCD, find x.

Answer 1

X=4
You multiply to get 4

Answer 2

x = 16

Explanation:

If the figure is a parallelogram, the opposite sides are the same length

3x+20 = 5x-12

Subtract 3x from each side

3x+20 -3x = 5x-12-3x

20 = 2x-12

Add 12 to each side

20+12 = 2x-12+12

32 = 2x

Divide each side by 2

32/2 = 2x/2

16 =x
