If my intrepretation is correct, my drawing indicates that you have two similar triangles: ACD and ABE, so...
\n" ); document.write( "\"AE%2FAD+=+EB%2FDC\" Substitute \"AE+=+3\",\"AD+=+9\", and \"DC+=+15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F9+=+EB%2F15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"EB+=+3%2815%29%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28EB+=+5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
