To solve this problem you must apply a theorem called: Intersecting secant theorem. The proccedure is shown below:

 1) For the figure shown on the left:

 (5)(x+5)=(6)(4+6)
 5x+25=60
 5x=60-25
 x=35/5
 x=7

 
2) For the figure shown on the right:

 (3)(3+5)=(4)(x+4)
 24=4x+16
 24-16=4x
 8=4x
 8/4=x
 x=2

X−7&lt;14<br><br> Options:<br><br> x&lt;7<br><br> x&gt;21<br><br> x&lt;21<br><br> x&gt;7
guajiro [1.7K]

This is a simple equation:

x - 7 < 14

x < 14 + 7

x < 21

→ Many people think that because there is not "=" sign they don't flip the sign of what in this case is -7. But actually, the symbols "<" and ">" act as the equal sign. This rule doesn't apply to positive number, only negative.


Hope it helped,

How do you find the slope of y=-4/3x - 1?
Brut [27]
I can't think of what the form is called, but the slope is in that equation.

y=mx+b

m is the slope and in that equation, m=-4/3

the word bisects means that it cuts in half (this is how I understand it, not the official definition :D)
