Answer:

     If you mean: AC=CE, the answer is:  AB = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

D is the midpoint of CE, then

CD = DE = 0.5CE = 0.5(10x+18) = 5x + 9

So:   5x + 9 = 7x - 1

            -9          -9

        5x  =  7x - 8

        -7x      -7x

       -2x  =  -8

      ÷(-2)       ÷(-2)        

          x  =  4

AC = CE = 10x + 18 = 40 + 18 = 58

BC = 9x - 2 = 36 - 2= 34

AB = AC - BC = 58 - 34 = 24

D is the midpoint of CE, so if you draw a line with those three points, it'll look like C-D-E.

Since DE = 7x-1, which also means CD = 7x-1.

CD + DE = CE, so (7x-1)+(7x-1) = 10x+18.

Therefore, x = 5 and CE = 68.

Since AC is congruent to CE, AC = 68.

Assuming the point B is somewhere between AC.

Since BC = 9x-2 and x = 5, which means BC = 43.

AC - BC = AB, so 68 - 43 = 25.

Therefore, AB = 25
