Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Look a t the picture.

The triangles on the picture are similar.

Therefore the sides are in proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{8x}{10}=\dfrac{4}{5x}[/tex]              cross multiply

[tex](8x)(5x)=(4)(10)[/tex]

[tex]40x^2=40[/tex]           divide both sides by 40

[tex]x^2=1\to x=\sqrt1\\\\x=1[/tex]
