Explanation:

given,

BD = 7x - 10

BC = 4x - 29

CD = 5x - 9

a/q

BC + CD = BD

so, after inserting the values we got,

4x - 29 + x - 9 = 7x - 10

5x - 38 = 7x - 10

5x - 7x = - 10 + 38

2x = 28

x = 28/2 = 14

x = 14

therefore value of x is 14

according to the obtained value,

BD = 7x - 10 7(14) - 10 = 98 - 10 = 88

BC = 4x - 29 4(14) - 29 56 - 29 = 27

CD = 5x - 9 5(14) - 9 70 - 9 = 61

hope this answer helps you dear....take care and may u have a great day ahead!

verifying,

BC + CD = BD

61 + 27 = 88

L.H.S = 61 + 27 = 88

so,

LHS = RHS
