Help plz im confused

Answer 1

x = 16

Explanation:

Δ ABC and Δ ADE are similar , thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(AB)/(AD)` =
`(BC)/(DE)` , substitute values

`(x)/(x+6)` =
`(8)/(11)` ( cross- multiply )

11x = 8(x + 6)

11x = 8x + 48 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

3x = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 16
