Px + qy = r
2px - qy = 2r
----------------add
3px = 3r
x = 3r/3p
x = r/p
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use cross products to solve
84/12 = 28/x
84 * x = 12 *28
Divide each side by 84
84x/84 = 12*28/84
x =4
B) 48 is your answer
Hope this helps!!
If two secants intersect from a point outside of the circle, then the product of the lengths of the secant and its external segment equals the product of the other secant and its external segment.
#1
5(x+5) = 6(4+6)
5x + 25 = 6 * 10
5x = 60 - 25
5x = 35
x = 7
#2
4(x+4) = 3(5+3)
4x + 16 = 3 * 8
4x = 24 - 16
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
