Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the secant-secant Formula:

(whole secant) x (external part) =         (whole secant) x (external part)

(1+x+4) * (x+4) = (11+x+1) * (x+1)

Combine like terms

(x+5) (x+4) = (x+12) (x+1)

FOIL

x^2 + 4x+5x + 20 = x^2 +  x+ 12x + 12

Combine like terms

x^2 + 9 x + 20 = x^2 + 13 x + 12

Bring everything to the left

x^2 + 9 x + 20- (x^2 + 13 x + 12) = x^2 + 13 x + 12-( x^2 + 13 x + 12)

x^2 + 9 x + 20- (x^2 + 13 x + 12) =0

Distribute the minus sign

x^2 + 9 x + 20- x^2 - 13 x - 12 =0

Combine like terms

-4x +8 = 0

Subtract 8 from each side

-4x+8-8=0-8

-4x=-8

Divide each side by -4

-4x/-4 = -8/-4

x=2

Answer:

turn into improper fractions

1*24+16=40

40/24

1*24+21=45

45/24

40/24+45/24=85/24

work out how many times 24 goes into 85 to get back to a mixed number.

24 goes into 85 three times with 13 left over so the answer is
