Mrs. Balick owes the dentist $342. She wants to have her payments taken from her checking account over the next 7 1/2 months. By what amount will her account change each mmonth for the first 7 months

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.
