Given that D is the mid point of CE ,
So D will bisect CE, it means the length of DE and CD is equal.
=> DE + CD = CE
As DE and CD are equal,
=> DE + DE = CE
=> 2 DE = CE
Putting values from the question,
=> 2( 7x - 1 ) = 10x + 18
=> 14x - 2 = 10x + 18
=> 14x - 10x = 18 + 2
=> 4x = 20
=> x = 20 / 4
=> x = 10 / 2
=> x = 5
Therefore, the value of x is 5

Answer:
- short base: 6 yards
- long base: 8 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Our understanding of your figure is shown below.
The question says the "shortest side" and the "width" have the same dimension. If the "width" is a reference to "height 6 yards", then it seems the "shortest side" is 6 yards. Since the slant sides are longer than the height, the "shortest side" is also the "short base."
The short base is 6 yards.
__
The long base overhangs the short base by 1 yard on either end, so it is a total of 2 yards longer than the short base. It it 6+2 = 8 yards long.
The long base is 8 yards.
