Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The line DE is parallel to AC and divides the sides proportionally, that is

[tex]\frac{BD}{AD}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BE}{CE}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{x+2}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

3x = 2(x + 2) = 2x + 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x = 4
