Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants intersect a circle from a point outside the circle, then

The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is

x(x + 10 + x) = 6(6 + 10 + x)

x(2x + 10) = 6(16 + x) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

2x² + 10x = 96 + 6x ← subtract 96 + 6x from both sides

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ← in standard form

Divide through by 2

x² + 2x - 48 = 0 ← factor the left side

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 6 → C

Helena uses a mixture of compost and topsoil in her garden. She purchased a total of 10 cubic yards of compost and topsoil for $
Annette [7]

Let C be the amount of compost

T be the amount of  topsoil

Each compost cost = $25

Cost of C compost = 25C

Each topsoil cost = $15

Cost of T topsoil = 15T

Amount of compost + amount of topsoil = 10

C + T = 10 -------> Equation 1

cost of C compost + cost of T topsoil = 180

25C + 15T = 180 --------> equation 2

Solve  the first equation for C

C + T = 10

C = 10 - T

Now plug it in second equation

25C + 15T = 180

25 ( 10 - T) +15T = 180

250 - 25T + 15T = 180 (combine like terms)

250 - 10 T = 180 (Subtract 250 on both sides)

-10T = 180 - 250

-10T = -70 ( divide by -10 on both sides)

T = 7

She purchased  7 cubic yards of topsoil .
