what is the value of x? x=____

Answer:
x = - [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A theorem states that (using letters from in this problem) that:
AB * BE = DC * CE
Applying that you can find that:
11 ( x + 1 ) = 1 ( x + 4 )
11 x + 11 = x + 4
11 x + 11 - x = x + 4 - x
10 x + 11 = 4
10 x + 11 - 11 = 4 - 11
10 x = -7
10 x / 10 = -7 / 10
x = - [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]
