Triangle C F E is shown. Angle C F E is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point F to point D on side C E, forming a right angle. The length of F D is 9, the length of C D is 5, and the length of D E is 2 x + 3.
What is the value of x and the length of segment DE?
StartFraction 5 Over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction 9 Over 2 x + 3 EndFraction
10x + 15 = 9(9)
