Step 1 = Distributive Property ( multiplying the 2 by each term in parenthesis)
Step 2 = Addition Property ( adding like terms)
Step 3 = Addition Property (adding 34x to each side)
Step 4 = Division Property. ( dividing both sides by 17)
Because it is a fraction thats why. ok
Wait for area, wouldn't you just times 13 and 5 and get 65 and then times 23?

By the Intersecting Secants Theorem we have
2x(2x+7)=x(x+23)
4x^2+14x=x^2+23x
3x^2=9x
3x=9
x=3
Since DY is length 2x,
the length of DY is 6.
