Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Very similar to the previous problems of this type, these two triangles have a shared angle A and both have a right angle, prove AA similarity.
From there, we can set up a ratio:
(x+8)/x = 8/6
Multiply both sides by x:
x+8 = 8x/6
Multiply both sides by 6:
6x+48 = 8x
Move the 6x to the right:
48 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 24
