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

How do I solve this equation for x?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The answer is x = -32

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of x, e must first distribute the 6 into the parenthesis.

6(x - 7) = 8x + 22

6x - 42 = 8x + 22

Now we will add/subtract values so that all x values are on the right and all number values are on the left.

6x - 42 = 8x + 22

-42 = 2x + 22

-64 = 2x

Now to get the final answer, divide both sides by 2.

-32 = x

1 T = 2000 lb
0.5 T = 1000 lb
1.25 T = 2500 lb

Jake's trailer can have a load of 5000 -2500 = 2500 lb. Since each horse is 1000 lb, Jake can only load 2 of them into the trailer and stay under his load limit.
