I think it’s not equal because if you took (1)(2)(3). You would need to multiply them not add them. It would be 9 = (1,2,3)
Using the intersecting chord theorem:
15 x 2 = 5 x n
Simplify:
30 = 5n
Divide both sides by 5:
n = 30/5
n = 6 m
8 x n+8 = 16 x n+2
Simplify:
8n +64 = 16n +32
Subtract 8n from both sides:
64 = 8n +32
Subtract 32 from both sides:
32 = 8n
Divide both sides by 8:
n = 32 /8
n = 4
The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
