ABCD is a parallelogram. Determine the length of BE.

Answer:
BE = 102 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other , so
DE = EB , that is
- 8x + 14 = 3 - 9x (add 9x to both sides )
x + 14 = 3 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
x = - 11
Then
BE = 3 - 9x = 3 - 9(- 11) = 3 + 99 = 102 units
