-5-2x-3-x
I have -7x-3 so far but I’m not sure

Remind that a constant cannot add up or subtract with a variable term. Instead we just leave them.

We can add up the same term. A constant can only add up or subtract with a constant. A variable term can only subtract or add up with the same variable term. (you can add or subtract x+x BUT not x²+x as both have different degree.)

If you have any questions, you can post in the comment.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
