Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersecting Chords Theorem: ab = cd

Step 1: Label our variables

<em>a</em> = x

<em>b</em> = x - 11

<em>c</em> = x - 8

<em>d</em> = x - 5

Step 2: Plug into theorem

x(x - 11) = (x - 5)(x - 8)

Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>

x² - 11x = x² - 8x - 5x + 40

x² - 11x = x² - 13x + 40

-11x = -13x + 40

2x = 40

x = 20

Answer: x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

ab=cd

x(x - 11) = (x - 5)(x - 8)

x^2 - 11x = x^2 - 13x + 40

x^2 - 11x = x^2 - 8x - 5x + 40

-11x = -13x + 40\\2x = 40\\x = 20

Answer:

<h2>x = 140, y = 80</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=-2y+300&(1)\\3y=800-4x&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\3y=800-4(-2y+300)\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\3y=800+(-4)(-2y)+(-4)(300)\\\\3y=800+8y-1200\\\\3y=8y-400\qquad\text{subtract}\ 8y\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-5y=-400\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-5)}\\\\y=80\\\\\text{Put it to (1):}\\\\x=-2(80)+300\\\\x=-160+300\\\\x=140
