Find the value of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Masja [62]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Two secants drawn from an external point to the circle.

The (outside ) × (whole) of one secant is equal to the (outside) × (whole) of the other secant, that is

(x + 2)(x + 2 + 2x - 8) = (x + 1)(x + 1 + 2x - 5)

(x + 2)(3x - 6) = (x + 1)(3x - 4) ← expand both sides using FOIL

3x² - 12 = 3x² - x - 4  ( subtract 3x² - x - 4 from both sides )

x - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )

x = 8

2(3x – 1) = –6x – 2 can someone help
Gnom [1K]

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2(3x−1)=−6x−2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(3x−1)=−6x−2

(2)(3x)+(2)(−1)=−6x+−2(Distribute)

6x+−2=−6x+−2

6x−2=−6x−2

Step 2: Add 6x to both sides.

6x−2+6x=−6x−2+6x

12x−2=−2

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

12x−2+2=−2+2

12x=0

Step 4: Divide both sides by 12.

12x/12= 0/12

x=0

Answer:

x=0

HOPE THIS HELPS!!! :)
