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

Dora is thinking of a number between 500 and 600
wariber [46]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  500 ÷ 8 = 62 r 4, for example

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have a remainder of 4, the divisor must be greater than 4, so could be any of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

The corresponding numbers could be any of ...

  504 +5n . . . 0 ≤ n ≤ 19

  502 +6n . . . 0 ≤ n ≤ 16

  501 +7n . . . 0 ≤ n ≤ 14

  500 +8n . . . 0 ≤ n ≤ 12

  508 +9n . . . 0 ≤ n ≤ 10

__

For example, with the divisor being 6, and n=13, the number could be ...

  580 = 6·96 + 4
