Answer:

-3

Explanation:

According to the question,


\longrightarrow CE = CD + DE


\longrightarrow 8 = (x + 10) + (x + 4)


\longrightarrow 8 = x + 10 + x + 4


\longrightarrow 8 = 2x + 14


\longrightarrow 8 ― 14 = 2x


\longrightarrow ―6 = 2x


\longrightarrow ―6 ÷ 2 = x


\longrightarrow –3 = x

Therefore, the value of x is 3.
