Question

In AABC, DE II BC. Find X​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DE || BC, by BPT(Basic Proportionality Theorem) or the Thales' Theorem

$\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}$

Thus,

$\frac{x}{x+1} = \frac{x + 3}{x + 5}$

Cross multiplying, we get:

x(x+5) = (x+1)(x+3)

x² + 5x = x² + 3x + x + 3

5x = 4x + 3

5x - 4x = 3

x = 3
