To solve for X you need to simplify both sides on the equation 
<span><span><span>23</span><span>(<span><span>4x</span>−5</span>)</span></span>=8

</span><span><span><span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>4x</span>)</span></span>+<span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>−5</span>)</span></span></span>=8 *</span>Distribute*

<span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>=<span>8

after that you add 10/3 on both sides 

</span></span><span><span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>+10/3</span>=<span>8+10/3</span></span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>=<span>34/<span>3

finally multiply 3/8 on both sides 
</span></span></span><span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span><span>8/3</span>x</span>)</span></span>=<span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span>34/3</span><span>)

and your answer should be 
X= 17/4
</span></span></span>

Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of distances from the intersection of secants to the near and far intersections with the circle are the same. For a tangent, the near and far points of intersection with the circle are the same. This relation tells us ...

  (2√3)(2√3) = x(x +4)

  12 = x² +4x

  16 = x² +4x +4 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient to complete the square

  4² = (x +2)² . . . . . . . . write as squares

  4 = x +2 . . . . . . . . . . positive square root

  2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If you believe x to be an integer, you can look for factors of 12 that differ by 4.

  12 = 1×12 = 2×6 = 3×4

The factors 2 and 6 differ by 4, so x=2 and x+4=6.
