Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>According to intersecting chords theorem:</u>
- 21(2x - 6) = 30(x + 1)
- 42x - 126 = 30x + 30
- 42x - 30x = 126 + 30
- 12x = 156
- x = 156/12
- x = 13
<u>Find the value of YZ:</u>
If you had values instead of algebraic expressions, you would find the area of the patio and subtract that from the area of the yard. Even though you don't have values, you can still find the area and subtract by expanding and simplifying:
(8x + 2)(6x + 3)
8x × 6x = 48x²
8x × 3 = 24x
2 × 6x = 12x
2 × 3 = 6
So you get 48x² + 36x + 6 as your area of the yard
(x + 5)(3x + 1)
x × 3x = 3x²
x × 1 = x
5 × 3x = 15x
5 × 1 = 5
So the area of the patio is 3x² + 16x + 5
(48x² + 36x + 6) - (3x² + 16x + 5)
48x² - 3x² = 45x²
36x - 16x = 20x
6 - 5 = 1
So your answer is D. 45x² + 20x + 1. I hope this helps!
Answer:
B = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction</u>
6 + 2b/5 = 12
<u>Subtract 6 from both sides</u>
6 + 2b/5 <em>(-6)</em> = 12 <em>(-6) </em>= 2b/5 = 6
<u>Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators</u>
2b/5 <em>( x 5) </em>= 6<em> (x 5)</em>
<em />
<u>Simplify</u>
2b = 30
