Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The property of a parallelogram is the opposite sides are congruent, hence
AD = BC ← substitute values
5x + 3 = 38 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
5x = 35 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 7
The two lines start at the same point outside the circle, using the intersecting Secants theorem, When you multiply the two dims for each line together, they are equal
For A:
5 * (5+x) = 6 * (6+4)
25 + 5x = 60
5x = 35
x = 35/5
x = 7
For B:
5 * (5+ 3) = 4 * ( 4+x)
40 = 16 + 4x
4x = 24
x = 24/4
x = 6
Well first we want to divide 1 by 3 , which is 0.3 , Now we need to divide 4 by 5 which is 0.8 .
We have our answers but 7 needs to be added by their sum so lets put them together by adding them : 0.3 + 0.8 = 1.1.
Now lets add 7 and 1.1 all together , which is 8.1.

I hope this helps you a lot :)
You’re someone that really cares about life
You need to group the like terms (the terms with the same or no variable) together so it is:
5y-6y-y +6
Then you combine the like term and it becomes
5y-7y +6
-2y+6
which can also be written as 6-2y
Hope this helps :)
