Question

Solve for x , look at image above

Answer 1

Answer: x=16

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using proportions. We can see the figure as 2 triangles. One is ΔAED and another is ΔACB.

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

`11x=8(x+6)` [distribute]

`11x=8x+48` [subtract both sides by 8x]

`3x=48` [divide both sides by 3]

`x=16`

We know that x=16.
