Answer:

AC=16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.  It was given that diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

This implies that: [tex]AE=CE[/tex].

We substitute the expression for x, we get:

[tex]11x-3=12-4x[/tex].

Group similar terms to get:

[tex]11x+4x=12+3[/tex].

[tex]15x=15[/tex].

[tex]x=1[/tex]

AC = 2(12-4x)

AC=2(12-4(1))

AC=2(8)

AC=16
