(2x+6)/10 = (x+6)/8
10(x+6) = 8(2x+6)
10x + 60 = 16x + 48
6x = 12
x = 2

so
AE = 2(2) +6
AE = 4 + 6
AE = 10

Answer:

AE = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure we can see that two triangle ABE and DEC are similar.

Therefore the ratio of corresponding sides are equal

To find the value of x

From figure we get,

ED/AE = CD/AB

(x + 6)/(2x + 6) = 8/10

10(x + 6) = 8(2x + 6)

10x + 60 = 16x + 48

16x - 10x = 60 - 48

6x = 12

x = 2

To find the value of AE

AE = 2x + 6 = (2 * 2 ) + 6 = 4 + 6

AE = 10

Rationalize the numerator. <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B144x%20%7D%20%7D%7B%20%5Csq

rationalizing the numerator, or namely, "getting rid of that pesky radical at the top".

we simply multiply top and bottom by a value that will take out the radicand in the numerator.

$\bf \cfrac{\sqrt[3]{144x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}~~
\begin{cases}
144=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 2^3\cdot 18
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt[3]{2^3\cdot 18x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{ 18x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{ 18x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt[3]{(18x)^2}}{\sqrt[3]{(18x)^2}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{(18x)(18x)^2}}{\sqrt[3]{(y)(18x)^2}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{(18x)^3}}{\sqrt[3]{18^2x^2y}}$

$\bf \cfrac{2(18x)}{\sqrt[3]{324x^2y}}~~
\begin{cases}
324=2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 12\cdot 3^3
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{36x}{\sqrt[3]{12\cdot 3^3x^2y}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{36x}{3\sqrt[3]{12x^2y}}\implies \cfrac{12x}{\sqrt[3]{12x^2y}}$
