Answer:

B. 37 units

Explanation:

DE = 4x + 1

AB = 11x - 25

DE is a midsegment of the ∆ABC

Therefore:

DE = ½(AB) => Triangle Midsegment Theorem

4x + 1 = ½(11x - 25)

2(4x + 1) = 11x - 25

8x + 2 = 11x - 25

Collect like terms

8x - 11x = -2 - 25

-3x = -27

-3x/-3 = -27/-3

x = 9

✔️DE = 4x + 1

Plug in the value of x

DE = 4(9) + 1 = 36 + 1

DE = 37
