3)
\angle ADB and
\angle BDE are supplementary (if two angles form a linear pair, they are supplementary)

4)
\angle ADC and
\angle CDE are supplementary (if two angles form a linear pair, they are supplementary)

5)
\angle ADB \cong \angle ADC (supplements of congruent angles are congruent)

6)
\triangle ADB \cong \triangle ADC (SAS)

7)
\angle ABD \cong \angle ACD (CPCTC)
