Answer:
9.93
Step-by-step explanation:
Secant-Tangent theorem tells us that the product of the secant segment with its external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment.
From the diagram, we can say (let the unknown part of secant line, the part left of the segment length 5, be y):
(15+y)(10) = 17^2
Solving for y we get:

Now we can use the chord theorem to solve for x. Chord theorem tells us that when 2 intersecting chords create 4 segments, the product of the individual chord segments are equal. Thus we can say:
5 * 13.9 = 7 * x
Now solving, we get:

Thus x = 9.93
last answer choice is right.
Answer:
the first one
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x can be any value, -infinity must be less than x because you can always subtract 1 from x. Also, infinity must be more than x because you can always add 1 to x.
So here is the answer. Initially, Ed's toy cars compared to Pete's toy cars was 5:2. So for every 5 cars that Ed has, Pete has 2. Now that Ed gave 30 cars to Pete. So here it goes. The total number of ratio units is 5+2=7, so each will have an equal number if they both have 3.5 ratio units. That is, if Ed transfers to Pete 1.5 ratio units, their car counts will be equal. Thus 1.5 ratio units = 30 cars, or 1 ratio unit = 20 cars. Therefore, this makes <span> 7*20 cars = 140 cars.

Answer:
the cost of talking for 15 minutes would be $1.5
15x0.1=1.5
for $50 you could talk for 500 minutes.
50/0.1=500
double check, 500x0.1=50
Answer:C
Step-by-step explanation:
6(x+7)=5(x-7)+x
⇔6x+42=5x-35+x
⇔6x-5x-x=-35-42
⇔0x=-77
