Square JANE with JN= 14cm and AE= 2x-19. Solve for the value of x
------------------------------------------------------------------ 
JN and AE are the diagonals of the square.

The diagonals of a square have the same length.

It gives an equation

2x - 19 = 14.

2x = 14 + 19 = 33.

x = 33%2F2 = 16.5 cm.
