Step1: Add 1 to both sides
$\frac{DB}{AD} + 1 = \frac{EC}{AE} + 1$
$\frac{DB + AD}{AD} = \frac{EC + AE}{AE}$
Step2: Substitute for sum segments
$\frac{AB}{AD} = \frac{AC}{AE}$
Step3: Identify shared angle
$\angle A \cong \angle A$
Step4: Apply SAS similarity
$\triangle ABC \sim \triangle ADE$ (Side-Angle-Side Similarity)
Step5: State corresponding angles rule
$\angle ABC \cong \angle ADE$ (Corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent)
Step6: Use parallel angle theorem
Line $l \parallel \overline{BC}$ (Corresponding Angles Theorem)
