So since they are similar
AC/BC=CD/CE

so
(66-x)/30=(x+4)/5
times both sides by 5
(66-x)/6=x+4
times both sides by 6
66-x=6(x+4)
distribute
66-x=6x+24
add x to both sides
66=7x+24
minus 24 from both sides
42=7x
divide both sides by 7
6=x
x=6 units

What is the solution to the system of equations below?

katen-ka-za [31]

$4x - y = - 5 \\ - 2x + y = 3$

Solve the second equation for y

$4x - y = - 5 \\ y = 3 + 2x$

Substitute the given value of y into the first equation

$4x - (3 + 2x) = - 5$

Solve the equation for x

$x = - 1$

Substitute the given value of x into the second equation

$y = 3 + 2( - 1)$

Solve the equation for y

$y = 1$

The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair (x,y)

$(x,y) = ( - 1, 1)$
