Answer: 1/4 I think
Step-by-step explanation:
If two secants intersect from a point outside of the circle, then the product of the lengths of the secant and its external segment equals the product of the other secant and its external segment.
#1
5(x+5) = 6(4+6)
5x + 25 = 6 * 10
5x = 60 - 25
5x = 35
x = 7
#2
4(x+4) = 3(5+3)
4x + 16 = 3 * 8
4x = 24 - 16
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
The value of the variable x is 3/4
<h3>What are congruent segments</h3>
Congruent segment are segments with equal or congruent lengths.
From the information given, we have that line AB is approximately equal to line BC. This is represented as;
AB = BC
Where;
Now, let's equate the expressions
4x + 7 = 20x - 5
collect like terms
4x - 20x = - 5 - 7
- 16x = - 12
Make 'x' the subject of formula
x = -12/-16
x = 3/4
Thus, the value of the variable x is 3/4

Answer:
A) no real solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
No real solution. in order to x+1 by itself you must square root both sides. that would mean square rooting -5 which creates an imaginary number. so there are no real solutions. Also cause even if x was a negative, when you'd square it, you'll always get a positive.
