What is AE? Enter your answer in the box.

wo segments A D and B C intersect at point E to form two triangles A B E and D C E. Side A B is parallel to side D C. A E is labeled 2 x plus 6. E D is labeled x plus 6. A B is 10 units long. D C is 8 units long.

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
