If B is the midpoint of line AC, AC=CD, AB=3x+4, AC=11x-17, and CE=49, find DE

Answer:
DE=11 UNITS
Step-by-step explanation:
Given AC=CD
And AC=2AB as B is the mid point of AC
Hence 2(3x+4)=11x-17
6x+8=11x-17
11x-6x=17+8
5x=25
x=5
Hence AC=11(5)-17= 55-17=38
AC =CD = 38
CE = 49
Hence DE = CE-CD= 49-38 = 11
