Since lines m and n are parallel, angle B and angle E are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent, which means they have the same measure.
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
3x + 18 = 14x - 8
Simplifying this equation, we get:
18 + 8 = 14x - 3x
26 = 11x
Dividing both sides by 11, we find:
x = 26/11
Therefore, the value of x is 26/11 or approximately 2.36.
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
3x + 18 = 14x - 8
Simplifying this equation, we get:
18 + 8 = 14x - 3x
26 = 11x
Dividing both sides by 11, we find:
x = 26/11
Therefore, the value of x is 26/11 or approximately 2.36.

The correct answer is "It must be the same length as segment DE¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯."
Since AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is a perpendicular bisector of segment BD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, it means that point E is the midpoint of segment BD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. This implies that segment BE¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is equal in length to segment DE¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
