Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 intersecting chords.
Then the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is
14(2x + 2) = 12(2x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
28x + 28 = 24x + 60 ( subtract 24x from both sides )
4x + 28 = 60 ( subtract 28 from both sides )
4x = 32 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 8
