Question

PLEASE HELP A) 8 C) 1 B) 6 D) 7 What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

As tangents drawn from a common external point to a circle are congruent,

• 8x - 7 = 6x + 7
• 2x - 7 = 7 [subtract 2x from both sides]
• 2x = 14 [add 7 to both sides]
• x = 7 [divide both sides by 2]
