AC CE and D is the midpoint of CE. IF CE 10x + 18, DE =7x -1, and BC = 9x - 2, find AB, AB =

Step-by-step explanation:

D is the midpoint of CE, then

CD = DE = 0.5CE = 0.5(10x+18) = 5x + 9

So:   5x + 9 = 7x - 1

            -9          -9

        5x  =  7x - 8

        -7x      -7x

       -2x  =  -8

      ÷(-2)       ÷(-2)        

          x  =  4

AC = CE = 10x + 18 = 40 + 18 = 58

BC = 9x - 2 = 36 - 2= 34

AB = AC - BC = 58 - 34 = 24
