Answer: The value of x = 1

Explanation:

Given : Parallelogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

such that


AE = 11x -3 \text{ and} CE = 12- 4x.

We know that the diagonal of a parallelogram bisects each other.

Therefore , we have the following equation :-


11x -3= 12- 4x\\\\\Righatrrow11x+4x=12+3\\\\\rightarrow\ 15x=15\\\\\Rightarrow\x=(15)/(15)=1

Hence, the value of x = 1
