Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In $\triangle BAC, \: DE || AC$

Hence, by basic proportionality theorem:

$\frac{x + 2}{x} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: 2(x + 2) = 3x \\ \therefore \:2x + 4 = 3x \\ \therefore \:4 = 3x - 2x \\ \therefore \:4 = x \\ \huge \red { \boxed{\therefore \:x = 4}}$
