Answer: The value of x =2 units.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

AD= CD

BE= EA

So, we get that D and E are the mid-points of AC and AB respectively.

So, by Mid- point theorem , which states that the line joining the two midpoints is parallel to third side and it is half in length of third side i.e.

$DE=\frac{1}{2}BC$

So, we put the value of DE and BC ,

$5x-3=\frac{1}{2}\times (x+12)\\\\2(5x-3)=x+12\\\\10x-6=x+12\\\\10x-x=12+6\\\\9x=18\\\\x=\frac{18}{9}=2$

Hence, the value of x =2 units.

Explanation:
_____________________________________________

(-5/6) + (-5/6) = (-5/6) <span>− (5/6) ;

------> {since: "adding a negative" is the same a "subtracting a positive"} ;

------> </span> (-5/6) − (5/6) = (-5 − 5) / 6 ;

= -10/6 = (-10/2) / (6/2) ;
