Answer:

CE = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ m∠D = 90

∵ DK ⊥ CE

∴ m∠KDE = m∠KCD⇒Complement angles to angle CDK

In the two Δ KDE and KCD:

∵ m∠KDE = m∠KCD

∵ m∠DKE = m∠CKD

∵ DK is a common side

∴ Δ KDE is similar to ΔKCD

∴ \frac{KD}{KC}=\frac{DE}{CD}=\frac{KE}{KD}

∵ DE : CD = 5 : 3

∴ \frac{KD}{KC}=\frac{5}{3}

∴ KD = 5/3 KC

∵ KE = KC + 8

∵ \frac{KE}{KD}=\frac{5}{3}

∴ \frac{KC+8}{\frac{5}{3}KC }=\frac{5}{3}

∴ KC + 8 = \frac{25}{9}KC

∴ \frac{25}{9}KC - KC=8

∴ \frac{16}{9}KC=8

∴ KC = (8 × 9) ÷ 16 = 4.5

∴ KE = 8 + 4.5 = 12.5

∴ CE = 12.5 + 4.5 = 17

Solve equation for 5x-14=8x+4
creativ13 [48]
My answer-

Simplifying 5x + -14 = 8x + 4
 
Reorder the terms: -14 + 5x = 8x + 4 Reorder the terms: -14 + 5x = 4 + 8x
 
Solving -14 + 5x = 4 + 8x Solving for variable 'x'.


Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-8x' to each side of the equation. -14 + 5x + -8x = 4 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 5x + -8x = -3x -14 + -3x = 4 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0 -14 + -3x = 4 + 0 -14 + -3x = 4 Add '14' to

 each side of the equation. -14 + 14 + -3x = 4 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0 0 + -3x = 4 + 14 -3x = 4 + 14

 Combine like terms: 4 + 14 = 18 -3x = 18 <span>

Divide each side by '-3'. x = -6

Simplifying x = -6
