Let $d$ = $BD$

$\triangle BCD: 2x+d = BC+CD$

$d^2=BC^2+CD^2$

$\triangle AED:2.1+AD = AE+ED=AE+BC$

$AD^2 = AE^2+BC^2$

Note that all the triangles, including the three containing the three respective circles, are similar, which establishes the ratios $$\frac xb = \frac ax\implies x= \sqrt{ab}=3$$
