Answer:

  • CD = 4
  • DE = 24
  • CE = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment addition theorem tells you ...

  CD +DE = CE

  x^2 +12x = 32 -2x

Subtract the right side to put this in standard form.

  x^2 +14x -32 = 0

  (x +16)(x -2) = 0

  x = -16 or 2

In order for DE to have a positive length, we must have x > 0. So ...

  CD = x^2 = 2^2 = 4

  DE = 12x = 12(2) = 24

  CE = 32 -2x = 32 -2(2) = 28
