In this question, you're simplifying the inequality by solving for x.
Solve for x:
12 > -3x + 6
<em>flip the equation:</em>
-3x + 6 < 12
<em>subtract 6 from both sides</em>
-3x < 6
<em>divide both sides by -3, while also flipping the inequality</em>
x > -2
Answer:
x > -2
<h3>Answer:</h3>
x = 3
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The product of the lengths of segments from the intersection point to the circle is the same for both secants.
... 1×6 = 2×x
... 6/2 = x = 3 . . . . . divide by 2

<em>Comment on secant geometry</em>
Interestingly, this relation is true whether the point of intersection of the secants is inside the circle or outside.
When it is outside, the product is of the distance to the near intersection with the circle and the distance to the far intersection with the circle.
Alright, so for AB and CD to be parallel, CX and DX would have to be equal, as is with AX and BX. In addition, for CD and AB to be parallel, all sides in both triangles are either equal or not all sides in even one triangle are equal. Therefore, CD is not 3. In addition, two sides of a triangle combined must be greater than the third, so that leaves 5, 4, and 2 for CD. If it was 5, that would mean that all sides are equal, so that leaves 4 and 2. However, I don't see anything to prove either one right, sorry:/
