In the given figure, DE ∥ BC. If AD = x, DB = x – 2, AE = x + 2 and EC = x – 1, then find the value of x.
Given:
DE ∥ BC AD = x, DB = x - 2, AE = x + 2, and EC = x - 1
Formula Used:
By the basic proportionality theorem, if a line is parallel to the side of a triangle and intersects the remaining two sides into two distinct points, then the lines divide the sides into proportion.
Soluiton:
