15 - 8
8 + 2 is 10, so there are 5 leftover. 2 + 5 is 7, so 8 + 7 is 15.
The two tangent lines for each circle are the same length. Set the equations to equal and solve for x.
1. 4x + 3 = 3x +12
Subtract 3x from each side:
x +3 = 12
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x = 9
2. -2 + x = 2x -7
Subtract 2x from both sides:
-2 - x = -7
Add 2 to each side:
-x = -5
Multiply both sides by -1:
x = 5
2x3= 6
18÷6= 3
So, 3x4 = 12
