Question

what is the value of x?
a.14
b.17
c.27
d.34​

Answer 1

The answer is B. 17.

All this lines are there to confuse you. All you have to do is solve for x on both lines.

3x-24=x-10 subtract x from both sides
2x-24=10 add 24 to both sides
2x=34 divide both sides by 2
X=17

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer: 17

Step-by-step explanation:

since <BAE = <DAE

3x - 24 = x + 10

collect like terms

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

Divide bothside by 2

2x/2 = 34/2

x = 17
