Step-by-step explanation:



Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The fact that DE is perpendicular to AC means triangles AED and CED are congruent and side AD is equal in length to side CD.
5x -20 = 2x +4
3x = 24 . . . . . . . add 20-2x
x = 8 . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3
The value of x is 8.
8x + 6 - 2x = 34x
Simplify 8x +6 - 2x to 6x + 6:
6x + 6 = 34x
Subtract 6x from both sides:
6 = 34x- 6x
Simplify 34x - 6x to 28x:
6 = 28x
Divide both sides by 28:

= x
Simplify

:

= x
Now switch sides and the answer is:
x =
