Based on the given figure above, we can conclude that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. By definition, an isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two equal sides. Since this is an isosceles triangle, 8x-10 =6x. Now we can solve for x. So,
8x-10 =6x
8x-6x = 10
2x =10
x= 5.
Therefore, the value of x in the figure is 5. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
