Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
In Δs EAB and EAD
We are told that;
∠BAE ≅ ∠DAE
AB = AD = AE
Now,
The Two triangles have two corresponding equal sides and the angles between them are equal, thus, we can say that the two triangles are congruent by SAS (Side Angle Side) postulate of congruence
By using the result of congruence, we can say that;
EB ≅ ED
We are given that;
EB = 3x - 24 and ED = x + 10
Thus,
3x - 24 = x + 10
∴ 3 x - 24 = x + 10
Add 24 to both sides to give;
3x = x + 34
Subtract x from both sides to give;
2x = 34
Divide both sides by 2 to give;
x = 17
