Answer:
The value of x is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that N is the midpoint of OE so we can assume that ON and NE have the same length. In order to find the value of x, we have to do comparison :
[tex]ON = 23[/tex]
[tex]NE = 3x + 8[/tex]
[tex]ON = NE[/tex]
[tex]23 = 3x + 8[/tex]
[tex]23 - 8 = 3x[/tex]
[tex]15 = 3x[/tex]
[tex]3x = 15[/tex]
[tex]x = 15 \div 3[/tex]
[tex]x = 5[/tex]
