I think answer is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

BD = DA

BE = EC

Now, BD/BE = DA/EC

or, x + 5/2x = 4/3

or, 3x + 15 = 8x

or, 15 = 8x - 3x

or, 15 = 5x

or, 15/5 = x

Answer:3

Step-by-step explanation:

use ratios

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

then cross multiply to avoid a lot of work...

4(2x)=3(X+5)

8x=3x +15

5x=15

x=3

It is easy with ratios and cross multiplication
