Question

Find the value of x.

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

First you would need to look at the line at the right. It has 2 parts, 3 and 2. When added you get 5.

As when you look at the other side it only has 2 and x.

To make it simple 5 - 1 = 4.

That is your final answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

In triangle BAC, DE || AC.

Therefore, by basic proportionality theorem:

`(x + 2)/(x) = (3)/(2) \\ 2(x + 2) = 3x \\ 2x + 4 = 3x \\ 4 = 3x - 2x \\ 4 = x \\ x = 4`
