What is the value of X?

Mathematics

balandron [24]3 years ago

The problem can be solved using the Power of a Point, which states that:

EC \cdot ED=EB \cdot EA.

Substituting

EC=x+4; ED=x+5; EB=x+1; EA=x+12, 

we have the equation

(x+4) \cdot (x+5)=(x+1) \cdot (x+12).

Expanding both sides we get, 

x^2+9x+20=x^2+13x+12.

Subtracting x^2 from both sides, we have
                           
9x+20=13x+12. 
 
Collecting x's and the numbers on two different sides, we have:

4x=8, which finally yields x=2.



Answer: x=2

How many times larger is 4 x 10 12 than 8 x 10 7?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

50000 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these are given in scientific notation, we can convert them to have the same powers of 10. Converting 4*10^12 to something times 10^7, we can get 4*10^5*10^7. So we divide 400000 by 8 to see how many times larger it is than 8. So we get 50000 times as our answer.
