Answer 1

Answer: 2

Explanation:

DE * CE = AE * BE (Two Secants Segment Theorem)

▪︎ DE = 1 + x + 4

▪︎ CE = x + 4

▪︎ AE = 11 + x + 1

▪︎ BE = x + 1

=> (1 + x + 4)(x + 4) = (11 + x + 1)(x + 1)

=> (x + 5)(x+4) = (x + 12)(x + 1)

=> x^2 + 9x + 20 = x^2 + 13x + 12

=> 9x + 20 = 13x + 12

20 - 12 = 13x - 9x

8 = 4x

x = 2
