Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

You want the value of x in the figure of a circle with intersecting secants.

Secant relation

The product of lengths from the near and far circle intercepts to the point where the secants intersect is the same for both secants:

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

6·16 = 8·(8+x)

12 = 8 +x . . . . . . . divide by 8

4 = x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 8

The length x is 4 units.
