Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Here is our equation
3x - 4 (2x - 5) = 15
First, we will sue the distributive property to remove the parentheses. The term outside the parentheses is -4, so that is what we multiply the insides by.
3x-8x+20=15
We combine our like terms (our x-values).
-5x+20=15
We subtract 20 from both sides.
-5x=-5
We divide both sides by -5.
x=1
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
Answer: A, B, F
Explanation:
- A is true because (1/2 x 6 x 8) x 2 is equivalent to 48 square inches.
- B is true because (18 x 6) x 3 is equivalent to 324 square inches.
- F is true because 324 + 48 is equivalent to 372 square inches.
NOTE: I hope this helped, a brainliest would be much appreciated! :)

Answer:
y = 11.2 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of segment lengths to the near and far intersection points of the secant with the circle are the same for all secants from the same external point. Here, there are three, so we have the relations ...
9×9 = 5(5+y) = x(x+19)
Then the value of y can be found as ...
81/5 = 5+y
16.2 -5 = y = 11.2
__
The value of x is a little trickier, as a quadratic is involved.
81 = x² +19x
81 + 90.25 = x² +19x +90.25 . . . . complete the square
171.25 = (x +9.5)²
x = √171.25 - 9.5 ≈ 3.58625...

<em>Additional comment</em>
For the purpose here, the tangent can be considered to be a degenerate case of a secant in which the two points of intersection with the circle are the same point. For the purpose of this calculation, the length of the tangent is squared. (The distance to the points of intersection is the same.)
I find it easier to remember one rule, rather than a separate rule for tangents. With some imagination, the same rule can be applied when the "secants" meet <em>inside</em> the circle. In that case, they are called "chords".
We have shown the value for x because we suspect some versions of this question may ask for x instead of y. (Rounding may be required in that case.)
