Answer:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

In other words, percentage is just the simplied ratio of something. Percentage cannot account for the original value and its original value cannot be assumed that it is small just because the percentage is small.

Please help me find X
Zanzabum

Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of distances from the intersection of secants to the near and far intersections with the circle are the same. For a tangent, the near and far points of intersection with the circle are the same. This relation tells us ...

  (2√3)(2√3) = x(x +4)

  12 = x² +4x

  16 = x² +4x +4 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient to complete the square

  4² = (x +2)² . . . . . . . . write as squares

  4 = x +2 . . . . . . . . . . positive square root

  2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If you believe x to be an integer, you can look for factors of 12 that differ by 4.

  12 = 1×12 = 2×6 = 3×4

The factors 2 and 6 differ by 4, so x=2 and x+4=6.
