Segment Lengths C96Ed3
1. **State the problem:** We are given that line segment \(\overline{AB}\) is congruent to line segment \(\overline{CD}\), meaning their lengths are equal. We need to find the value of \(x\).
2. **Write the equation:** Since \(\overline{AB} \cong \overline{CD}\), their lengths are equal:
$$2x + 11 = 4x + 5$$
3. **Solve for \(x\):**
- Subtract \(2x\) from both sides:
$$11 = 2x + 5$$
- Subtract 5 from both sides:
$$11 - 5 = 2x$$
$$6 = 2x$$
- Divide both sides by 2:
$$x = \frac{6}{2} = 3$$
4. **Conclusion:** The value of \(x\) is \(3\).
