the correct question is
<span>What value of x would make RQ tangent to Circle P at point Q?
the picture in the attached figure
we know that
If RQ is a tangent to circle P at point Q
then
</span>RQ is perpendicular to the radius PQ at the point of tangency Q.
This means that ΔPRQ would be a right triangle.
Applying Pythagorean theorem
RP²=PQ²+RQ²
(x+9)²=9²+12²
(x+9)²=225
(+/-)(x+9)=√225
(+/-)(x+9)=15
+(x+9)=15-----> x=15-9-----> x=6
-(x+9)=15-----> -x-9=15-----> x=-9-15-----> x=-24
the solution is
x=6
the answer is
x=6 units

First, multiply the 7 on both sides.
Finally divide by -1 on both sides to get t = -7/15 as your answer.

Answer:
First we must learn to dissect a question.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>Part 1
We can list our facts first:
- Every 2 dozen cookies takes 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon to make
- She needs 13 dozen cookies
She needs 13 dozen cookies. So (13/2)x 1.5 teaspoons
She needs 9.75 teaspoons and 3 teaspoons make a tablespoon
So..
