Answer:  D) 10

============================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming points M and N are midpoints of segments FD and FE respectively. If that's the case, then segment DE is twice as long compared to segment MN. We consider MN to be a midsegment.

So,

DE = 2*(MN)

3x-2 = 2*(x+4)

3x-2 = 2x+8

3x-2x = 8+2

x = 10
