Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached image.

B is midpoint of AC

D is midpoint of CE

So,

[tex]AB=BC=CD=DE[/tex]

[tex]BD=BC+CD= AB+DE=\frac{1}{2}(AE)[/tex]

[tex](3x+5)=\frac{1}{2} (4x+20)[/tex]

Solving for 'x' we get,

[tex]3x+5=2x+10[/tex]

[tex]3x-2x=10-5[/tex]

[tex]x=5[/tex]

So the value of 'x' is 5.
