Answer:

TE = 12

Explanation:

Given:

TE = 4 + 2x

EV = 4x - 4

The diagonals of the figure bisects each other. This means that:

TE = EV

4 + 2x = 4x - 4

Collect like terms

2x - 4x = -4 - 4

-2x = -8

Divide both sides by -2

x = -8/-2

x = 4

✅Find TE:

TE = 4 + 2x

Plug in the value of x

TE = 4 + 2(4)

TE = 4 + 8

TE = 12
