DE equals 7.

Because it is the same length of BE.

It would be 7.

If BE is 7, you know that is the same distance from E to D. And if AC is 14, I'm guessing it is the same distance from B to D. So now BD is 14. That means that you now divide it by 2 to get ED. So, that is why the answer is 7. Sorry if what I wrote is a little confusing.

I hope this helps:)
