Question

How do i solve for x and what is the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

(4+8)(4) = (x) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture shows two secants intersecting at a point outside the circle.  A beautiful pattern for this is:  along each secant, the product (multiply) the entire secant by the outside part is the same.

(entire secant)(outside part) = (entire secant)(ouside part)

(4+8)(4) = (x)(3)
