Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

10 is to 8 as    x is to 6

10/8  = x/6

6 (10/8) = x = 7.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar because the corresponding angle in each is equal to the angle corresponding angles in the other.

Put in simpler language. ΔAEB ~ ΔADC by parallel lines properties. If that's the case 10/(10 + 8) = x/(x + 6)

Equation

AE/AD = AB/AC                  Substitute values

Solution

10/(10 + 8) = x/(x + 6)           Cross Multiply

10*(x + 6) = x* (10 + 8)          Combine

10*(x + 6) = 18x                     Remove the Brackets

10x + 60 = 18x                      Subtract 10x from both sides

8x = 60                                 Divide by 8.

x = 60/8

x = 7.5
