Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

By inference (see the last comment about the question, I is the end point of a side bisector. (The asker has said that all other questions have to do with side bisectors).

So CI and IE are equal. That means that CE = two times the size of CI

CE = x + 12

IE = 2x - 6

CE = 2* IE  (property of a bisector.

Solution

CE = 2*IE

x + 12 = 2*(2x - 6)         Remove the brackets.

x + 12 = 4x - 12              Add 12 to both sides

x + 12 +12 = 4x-12+12    Combine

x + 24 = 4x                    Subtract x from both sides

x - x + 24 = 4x - x           Combine

24 = 3x                          Divide by 3

24/3 = 3x/3            

x = 8
