First let's get rid of the parenthesis:
12 - 4x + 3x = 4 + 10 + 2x
Now group the x's on the left and the numbers on the right
-4x + 3x - 2x = 4 + 10 - 12
...and simplify
-3x = 2
divide by -3 to isolate x
x = -2/3
Answer:
A circle is shown. Secants P N and L N intersect at point N outside of the circle. Secant P N intersects the circle at point Q and secant L N intersects the circle at point M. The length of P N is 32, the length of Q N is x, the length of L M is 22, and the length of M N is 14.
In the diagram, the length of the external portion of the secant segment PN is <u>X</u>
The length of the entire secant segment LN is <u>36</u>.
The value of x is <u>15.74</u>

Y/x = 5 bc in order to isolate the variables you must divide by x on both sides to separate the 5, leaving you with y/x=5
