2 square root x • 4x= 22
2x=22
x=11
Answer is 11
Rewriting the equation as a quadratic equation equal to zero:
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
We need two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -30. In this case, it would have to be 5 and -6. Therefore we can also write our equation in the factored form
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x + 5) or (x - 6) zero will make their product zero.
x + 5 = 0 => x = -5
x - 6 = 0 => x = 6
Therefore, our solutions are x = -5 and x = 6.
They would both have to sell 14 candies.

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of segment lengths is the same for the two chords.
9(21) = x(27)
x = 189/27 . . . . . divide by 27
x = 7
