Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

Since you said don't explain, I'll show minimal work:

ΔABC and ΔADE are similar (Thales Intercept Th.)

Proportion:


(AB)/(AD) = (BC)/(DE)


(x)/(x + 10) =(8)/(16)


8x + 80 = 16x


8x = 80


x = 10

I’m guessing it’s 6 because 10+6=16 which is equal to the other side of the triangle
