x = 5

DE = 14

EF = 14

DF = 28

EXPLANATION

We have that E is the midpoint of DF.

This means that DE is the same as EF.

We have that:

DE = 2x + 4

EF = 3x - 1

=> 2x + 4 = 3x - 1

Collect like terms and solve:

3x - 2x = 4 + 1

x = 5

=> DE = 2(5) + 4 = 10 + 4

DE = 14

=> EF = 3(5) - 1 = 15 - 1

EF = 14

Since DE and EF lie on DF, we have that:

DE + EF = DF

=> DF = 14 + 14

DF = 28
