Answer:

5

Explanation:

EB is the median so it is the average of the top and bottom lengths

(38 + 6x-6) /2 = 7x-4

Combine like terms

(32+6x)/2 = 7x-4

Multiply by 2

32+6x = 14x-8

Subtract 6x from each side

32+6x-6x = 14x-6x -8

32 = 8x-8

Add 8 to each side

32+8 = 8x-8

40 = 8x

Divide by 8

40/8 = 8x/8

5 =x
