Answer: Choice D

x = 5, AB = 14, BC = 8

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, which can be proven through the angle angle theorem.

The similar triangles allow us to form the proportion below.

EB/DB = AB/BC

7/4 = (2x+4)/(x+3)

7(x+3) = 4(2x+4)

7x+21 = 8x+16

21-16 = 8x-7x

5 = x

x = 5 is part of the answer

Then we can use that x value to find the following

AB = 2x+4 = 2*5+4 = 14 is the length of AB

BC = x+3 = 5+3 = 8 is the length of BC
