Question

Using the following image, solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+14= 8

2x= -6

x = -3

Answer 2

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

$\longrightarrow$ CE = CD + DE

$\longrightarrow$ 8 = (x + 10) + (x + 4)

$\longrightarrow$ 8 = x + 10 + x + 4

$\longrightarrow$ 8 = 2x + 14

$\longrightarrow$ 8 ― 14 = 2x

$\longrightarrow$ ―6 = 2x

$\longrightarrow$ ―6 ÷ 2 = x

$\longrightarrow$ –3 = x

Therefore, the value of x is ― 3.
