Solution by Steps
step 1
Identify the similar triangles and their corresponding sides
step 2
Set up the proportion based on the similarity of triangles ABC and ADE
step 3
The proportion is x6=811\frac{x}{6} = \frac{8}{11}, since AB corresponds to BC and BD corresponds to DE
step 4
Solve for xx by cross-multiplying: x11=68x \cdot 11 = 6 \cdot 8
step 5
Calculate the value of xx: x=6811x = \frac{6 \cdot 8}{11}
step 6
Simplify the fraction to find xx: x=4811x = \frac{48}{11}
Answer
x=4811x = \frac{48}{11}
