Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In a circle if two chord intersects as shown in figure

and length of a chord at point of intersection is a and b

and length of another chord at point of intersection is c and b

a*b = c*d

using this relation here, we have

8*(x+7) = 10 * (4 +x)

=> 8x + 56 = 40 + 10x

subtracting 40 and 8x from both sides

=>8x + 56 - 8x -40= 40 + 10x -8x -40

=> 16 = 2x

=> x = 16/2 = 8

Thus, x = 8

A tortoise is walking in the desert. It walks at a speed of 5 meters per minute for 62.5 meters. For how many minutes does it wa

Sergio [31]

The question is asking for how many minutes it walks. Since it walks 5 meter per minute and walks 62.5 meters, you have to divide 62.5 by 5 to get how many minutes the tortoise walks. 62.5 divide by 5 is 12.5. in minutes, 0.5 is 30 seconds, therefore the tortoise walked for 12 minutes and 30 seconds or 12 1/2 minutes.

Please help, Algebra 1

Svetach [21]

3px = 2q(r-5x)
distribute
2qr - 10qx
3px = 2qr - 10qx

To solve for x
add 10qx to both sides
3px + 10qx = 2qr
factor out x
x(3p+10q) = 2qr
divide both sides by 3p+10q to isolate x
x = 2qr / <span>(3p+10q)

Hope this helps :)</span>
