Since the 7 is in front of the parentheses you must multiply it by everything inside the parentheses. 7 times X is 7X and 7 times -2 is -14. Then you need to make the X be by itself on one side, to do that you have to add 14 to -14 to make it disappear, and also add 14 to the other side, to 28. Then you divide both sides by 7 to make X be by itself.
7(x-2)=28
7X-14=28
7x=42
X=6

Answer:
EB = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, you can use the power of a point, in the situation where two secants intersect in the interior of a circle. The formula is as follows:
CE * ED = AE * EB
(This is applied specifically to this problem)
We can substitute the values given,
5 * (x - 4) = 3 * x
simplify,
5x - 20 = 3x
and solve.
2x - 20 = 0
2x = 20
x = 10
Since the value of EB is x, EB = 10.
Answer:
5: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
becuase it was basically 100:120 but divide it by 20 and thats how you get 5;6
