Answer:

2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since her brother is m years old, you would have to multiply her brother's age by 2 since the question says "...twice here brother's age." This part would equal to the equation 2x. The question also says " ...3 years more..." This would change the equation with the addtion of 3. The completed problem would then be 2x+3. Hope this helped!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

They are basically wanting the value of x.

These are 2 secant lines drawn. Secant Line is a line that intersects the circle at 2 points.

To solve this, we have to use secant-secant theorem.

Secant-Secant Power Theorem tells us that if 2 secant lines are drawn from external point (here, E) to a circle, then, product of measure of one secant's external part and total secant is equal to other secants external part and whole secant.

In algebra, that is:

$(x+1)(x+1+11)=(x+4)(x+4+1)$
