Expert Solution
Step 1

Given △CDE is an isosceles triangle with CD¯=DE¯.

Also, given that CD=9x-25, DE=6x+8 and CE=10x-73.

To find the value of x and the measure of each side.

Solution:

We know that isosceles is a triangle in which any two sides are equal.

Here, we have given CD¯=DE¯.

Therefore,

CD¯=DE¯9x-25=6x+89x-6x=8+253x=33x=333x=11
