Solution

REF.Image
In Given fig. DE||BC
now using mid point theorem,
$\frac{A D}{B D} = \frac{A E}{E C}$
Given AD=3x-2, AE=5x-4, BD= 7x-5 & CE=5x-3
$\frac{3 x - 2}{7 x - 5} = \frac{5 x - 4}{5 x - 3} \Rightarrow (3 x - 2) (5 x - 3) = (5 x - 4) (7 x - 5)$
$\Rightarrow 15 x^{2} - 19 x + 6 = 35 x^{2} - 53 x + 20$
$\Rightarrow 20 x^{2} - 34 x + 14 = 0 \Rightarrow 10 x^{2} - 17 x + 7 = 0$
$(x - 1) (10 x - 7) = 0$
Hence [x=1] & $[x = \frac{7}{10}]$
