Hi mate

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

HOPE IT HELPS

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ABC is a triangle, DE || BC, AD = x, DB = x - 2, AE = x + 2 and EC = x - 1.

To find: x

In △ABC, we have 

DE || BC

Therefore [By Thale's theorem]

AD/DB = AE/EC

AD × EC × = AE × DB

x(x-1) = (x-2)(x+2)

x2 - x = x2 - 4

x = 4
