△abc≅△dec. solve for x.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
additional solution no solution
x =

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

Since $\triangle ABC\cong\triangle DEC$, corresponding sides are equal. Assume $AB = DE$. So $2x + 18=26$.

Step2: Solve the equation

Subtract 18 from both sides: $2x=26 - 18$. So $2x = 8$. Then divide both sides by 2: $x=\frac{8}{2}=4$.

Answer:

$4$
