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
