Answer: x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. (i)
Here in parallelogram ABCD , AC and Bd are diagonals intersecting at E.
BE = 2x + 2, BD = 5x – 3, and AE = 4x – 6
Using (i)
[tex]BE=\dfrac{BD}{2}\\\\2x+2=\dfrac{5x-3}{2}\\\\ 2(2x+2)=5x-3\\\\ 4x+4= 5x-3\\\\ 5x-4x=4+3\\\\ x= 7[/tex]
Now , AE = 4(7)-6 = 28-6 = 22
AC =2 AE = 2 (22) =44 units.
Hence, x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.
