Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

When a secant and a tangent are drawn to a circle from a point outside the circle, the lengths are related this way:

The square of the length of the tangent equals the product of the length of the secant and the length of the segment of the secant outside the circle.

(x + 2)² = x(x + 5)

x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 5x

x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

By intersecting tangent and secant theorem:

${(x + 2)}^{2} = x(x + 5) \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 4x + 4 = {x}^{2} + 5x \\ \\ 4x + 4 = 5x \\ \\ 4 = 5x - 4x \\ \\ 4 = x \\ \\ x = 4$

Anna71 [15]

The original price is $500.
The new price with the payment plan is $560.

The percent change equation is shown in the picture.

First we find the difference or the amount of change.
560-500= 60.

To find the percent we divide 60 (the amount of change) over 500, the original amount.

60/500= 0.12.
0.12 as a percent is 12%

The answer is B. 12%
