Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Tangents to a circle from the same point are the same length.
43 -2x = 12x +1
42 = 14x . . . . . . . add 2x-1
3 = x . . . . . . . divide by 14
Since it's a multiple of 24, it has to be a multiple of the factors of 24.
Factors of 24:
2,3,4,6,8,12
You can use some of this knowledge to help create the number.
Since the # needs to be a multiple off 2, the last digit needs to be an 8
All numbers that are multiples of 3 have the property that all of their digits added together have to be a number that is evenly divisible by 3.
so your number will look like:
_ _ _ _ _ 8
so start trying combinations for the other 5 digits that give you a number that is a multiple of 3: 3,6,9,12,15, ect. If you can't find one, then it's impossible
5.4 because the 9 bumps it to 5.35.
And the 5 bumps it to 5.4.
