Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

see attachment for the missing figure.

to find the value of AY or x

We'll use intersecting chord theorem i.e  the product of line segment of each chord are equal.

From the figure, we can say that:

BY x YD = AY x YC

BY \times YD = AY \times YC\\3\times 8=x\times 6\\24=6x\\x=\frac{24}{6}\\x=4

Therefore,  AY = 4 units

If the sum of a number and five is doubled, the results is one less than the number.find the number
Serga [27]

Answer:

-11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be "x"

So,

Sum of the number and 5 is DOUBLED, the result would be ONE LESS THAN number, so we can write:

(x + 5)*2 = x - 1

See how we took the sum, added parenthesis and then DOUBLED it (LHS). And RHS is 1 less than number (x). Now we simply use distributive property  [ a(b+c) = ab + ac ]  to simplify and solve for x, the number. Shown below:

(x + 5)*2 = x - 1\\2x+10=x-1\\2x-x=-1-10\\x=-11

Thus,

the number is -11
