Mathematics
1 answer:
Ivan2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two secants drawn from an external point to the circle, then

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

x(x + 21) = (x + 1)(x + 1 + 14)

x² + 21x = (x + 1)(x + 15) ← expand using FOIL

x² + 21x = x² + 16x + 15 ( subtract x² + 16x from both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

andre [41]

Answer:

7.25 and 10.75 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Total hours Nalia and Lisa worked = 18 Hours

Nalia worked 3.5 hours then Lisa which is h hours

⇒h + (h + 3.5) = 18

2h + 3.5 = 18\\2h = 18 - 3.5\\2h = 14.5\\h = \frac{14.5}{2} \\h = 7.25

Lisa has worked for 7.25 hours

Nalia has worked for = 7.25 + 3.5 = 10.75 hours
