we know that tangents in a circle intersecting at point is always equal in length. we have two tangents AB and BC

by theorm AB=BC

5x+11=3x+25

2x=14

x=7. the length of x is 7

If two tangents drawn on a circle from the same external point then the tangents will be equal.

Here AB and BC are the two tangents of the circle drawn from a point B. So,

AB= BC.

Given AB = 5x + 11 and BC = 3x + 25. Hence, we can set up an equation as following:

5x + 11 = 3x + 25

5x + 11 -3x = 3x + 25 -3x By subtracting 3x from each sides.

2x + 11 = 25

2x + 11 - 11 = 25 - 11 By subtracting 11 from both each sides.

2x = 14

\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{14}{2} Dividing each sides by 2.

So, x= 7

Greg has decreased his running time by 1/10 minute each of the last six weeks. Write an expression to represent the total change
Nastasia [14]

x is your starting running time. 1/10 of a minute is 6 seconds, so you can do x - 6(6). 6 times 6 = 36, so your answer is x - 36 seconds. 36 seconds.
