If ce = 7x+4, find the value of x

Hey there,

To find the value of x we can take the two, CD or DE and set them equal to CE.

First step is set the lines equal to each other:

Now we combine like terms:

Then we subtract 7x from both sides:

Add 6 to both sides:

Lastly we divide both sides by 2:

So the value of x would have to be 5.  

Hope I helped,

Amna

duh its C!
