Answer:
x = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2
(x-7+4) * 4 = 8^2
(x-3)*4 = 64
Divide each side by 4
x-3 =16
Add 3 to each side
x-3+3 = 16+3
x = 19
First you had to remove parenthesis first.

Multiply by the numbers.

Try this way:
Note,
1. that 16/2=8 it means 10/2=5.
2. that 10*3=30, it means 16*3=48
Finally for whole table:
================
forks: 16 8 48
================
spoons: 10 5 30
================
Answer:
x=45
Step-by-step explanation:
add (3x-9)+30+24=180
subtract 30 and 24 from both sides
(3x-9) = 126
+9 on both sides
3x=135
divide by 3 on both sides
x=45
