<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.
Answer:
We have that the sum of two numbers is 9
this can be written as:
x + y = 9
where x is the larger number.
Now we want to write:
"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
First, remember that the difference between A and B is:
A - B
Then "the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
is:
"one more than the larger number" = ( x + 1)
"twice the smaller number" = 2*y
the difference between these is:
(x + 1) - 2*y
Now we can simplify:
We know that:
x + y = 9
then:
y = 9 - x
replacing that in the equation:
(x + 1) - 2*y
we would get:
x + 1 - 2*(9 - x)
x + 1 -18 + 2x
(x + 2x) + (1 - 18)
3x - 17
This means that we can write:
"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
as: 3x - 17
