Answer:
A circle is shown. Secants P N and L N intersect at point N outside of the circle. Secant P N intersects the circle at point Q and secant L N intersects the circle at point M. The length of P N is 32, the length of Q N is x, the length of L M is 22, and the length of M N is 14.
In the diagram, the length of the external portion of the secant segment PN is <u>X</u>
The length of the entire secant segment LN is <u>36</u>.
The value of x is <u>15.74</u>

-------------------------------------------
Define x:
-------------------------------------------
Let the shorter piece be x.
Shorter piece = x
Longer piece = 6x
-------------------------------------------
Construct equation:
-------------------------------------------
x +6x =35
7x = 35
x =5
-------------------------------------------
Find the length:
-------------------------------------------
Shorter length = x = 5 feet
Larger length = 6x = 6(5) = 30 feet
-------------------------------------------
Answer: The shorter piece is 5 feet.
-------------------------------------------
The least common denominator of 5/12 and -9/16
The answer is 48.
Now, we have to change the numerators also to make this a equal fraction to the first ones we had.
5*4 = 20
12*4 = 48
20/48
-9*3 = -27
16*3 = 48
-27/48
