<u>Given</u>:

The given circle with center at C. The lines AB and AD are tangents to the circle C.

The length of AB is (3x + 10)

The length of AD is (7x - 6)

We need to determine the value of x.

<u>Value of x:</u>

Since, we know the property of tangent that, "if two tangents from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then they are congruent".

We shall determine the value of x using the above property.

Thus, we have;

AB = AD

Substituting the values, we get;

3x+10=7x-6

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 7x, we get;

-4x+10=-6

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 10, we get;

-4x=-16

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4, we get;

x=4

Thus, the value of x is 4.

Cate wants to buy calzones and sodas for her friends she finds that when she buys two calzones and three sodas she pays $13 when
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The prices for a calzone and for soda as an ordered pair (c,s) is (5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be the prize of calazone

Let s be the prize of soda

She buys two calzones and three sodas she pays $13

So, 2c+3s=13

She buys three calzones and two sodas she pays $17

So, 3c+2s=17

Plot the equations on graph

2c+3s=13 --- Green

3c+2s=17 --- Blue

Intersection point will give the intersection point

So,(c,s)=(5,1)

So, Option c is correct

The prices for a calzone and for soda as an ordered pair (c,s) is (5,1)

What is a rule you can use to find the sum of two negative integers without using counters?
Reptile [31]
When integers have the same sign and you add them together the sum will have the same sign

7 + 5 = 13
-7 + (-5) = -13

write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=-3/7-15 and that passes through the point (9,2)
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First substitue the coordinates to the equation so

x=9, y=2

you would get

2=-3/7(9) + b

we put b because we are trying to find the new slope

multiply the two numbers above

2=-3/6/7 + b

subtract the whole number from both sides

b= 5/6/7

in equation would be

y= -3/7 + 5/6/7

Let me know if there is an error.
