We will determine the lengt of segment BE as follows:

Fomr the information given, the following is true:


3x-24=x+10\Rightarrow3x-x=10+24
\Rightarrow2x=34\Rightarrow x=17

Now, we replace the value of x in the expression that represents segment BE:


BE=3(17)-24\Rightarrow BE=27

So, the measure of segment BE is 27 units.
