Answer:
x = 17, MN = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 secants from an external point to a circle, then
The product of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the other secant.
(5)
7(7 + x) = 8(8 + 13) = 8 × 21 = 168 ( divide both sides by 7 )
7 + x = 24 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
x = 17
(6)
9(9 + 2x - 7) = 10(10 + 8)
9(2x + 2) = 10 × 18 = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )
2x + 2 = 20 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2x = 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 9
Then
MN = 2x - 7 = 2(9) - 7 = 18 - 7 = 11
A -17 3/4< x so u have to simplify-17 3/4 by multiply 17*4=68+3=71/4 so the x stands for -71/4 and it has to be 4 as the denominator because it it the denominator for the question.
B, C, D are also the same answer-17/4
And for 15 3/4<-2+ x it is also the same answer
10 more than 451 would be 451 + 10 = 461.
This problem can be divided into two parts Part 1 - income up to $10,000 times 10% = $1,000 Part 2 - income over $10,000 = $15,000 - 10,000 = $5,000then, $5,000 times 20% = $1,000 Finally, $1,000 + 1,000 = $2,000
