<span>D. Line AE equals about line ED because if you measure line AE it is the same length as line ED</span>
Answers are in bold:
-1=3x-2
add 2 to both sides
-1+2=3x-2+2
1=3x
divide both sides by 3
1÷3=3x÷3
1/3=x
-3x=9
divide both sides by -3
-3x÷-3=9÷-3
x=-3
-10=-5x
divide both sides by -5
-10÷-5=-5x÷-5
2=x
I hope this is good enough:
Since triangle ADE is similar to triangle ABC and the scale factor is 2, the following relation must be fulfilled:

The, by substituting the given information, we have

By multiplying both sides by x+2, we get

which gives

Then, by subtracting 4x to both sides, we have

and by adding 8 to both sides, we obtain

then, x is given by

Then, by substitutn
