help needed! 30 points! What is the value of x and the length of segment DE?
x = ___
Length of DE = ___ units


Finish the equation given for x:
10x +15 = 9(9)
= 10x +15 = 81
Subtract 15 from both sides:
10x = 66
Divide both sides by 10:
x = 66/10
X = 6.6
Now replace x with 6.6 in the equation for DE:
DE = 2(6.6) +3
Simplify:
DE = 13.2 + 3
DE = 16.2
