Answer:

3 units

Explanation:

By intersecting chords theorem:


AE * EB = CE * ED


\therefore 3 * 4= x * (x+1)


\therefore 12= x^2 +x


\therefore x^2 +x-12=0


\therefore x^2 +4x-3x-12=0


\therefore x(x +4)-3(x+4)=0


\therefore (x +4)(x-3)=0


\therefore (x +4)=0, \: (x-3)=0


\therefore x=-4, \: x=3

Since, the value of x can not be negative.


\therefore x\\eq - 4


\implies x = 3


\implies CE = 3
