When 2 secants intersect a circle:
(DC + CE) * CE = (AB + BE) * BE
( 1 + (x+4)) * (x+4) = (11 + (x+1)) * (x+1)
x + x^2 + 4x + 4 +4x +16 = 11x +x^2 +x +11 +x +1
9x + 20 = 13x + 12
4x = 8
x = 2

She doesn't have enough wax to make 4 candles, but she does have enough to make 3 whole candles
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the attached image for explanations
<span>2(3y - 7) - 5y(2 - y)
2*3y - 2*7 - 5y*2 -5y*(-y)
6y - 14 - 10y + 5y</span>²
5y² + 6y - 10y - 14
<span>5y² -4y - 14</span>
