we know that

The incenter is the point equidistant from the triangle's sides

so

that means

CI=BI=AI

substitute the given values

BI=AI

5x-11=3x+7

solve for x

5x-3x=7+11

2x=18

x=9

Find the value of CI

CI=52-2x

substitute teh value of x

CI=52-2(9)

CI=34 units

Verify the values of AI and BI

AI=
