5. solve for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
miss Akunina [59]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 17, MN = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants from an external point to a circle, then

The product of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the other secant.

(5)

7(7 + x) = 8(8 + 13) = 8 × 21 = 168 ( divide both sides by 7 )

7 + x = 24 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

x = 17

(6)

9(9 + 2x - 7) = 10(10 + 8)

9(2x + 2) = 10 × 18 = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )

2x + 2 = 20 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x = 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 9

Then

MN = 2x - 7 = 2(9) - 7 = 18 - 7 = 11

4/6 x what equals 8/6​
Sidana [21]

Answer: 4/6

1. Subtract 8/6 by 4/6.

  • 8/6 - 4/6 = 4/6

4/6 + 4/6 = 8 is the same as:

  • 4 + 4 = 8

<em>Notice: You don't change the denominator if your adding or subtracting.</em>

<em>That's why 4 + 4 = 8 is the same as 4/6 + 4/6.</em>

<em />

<h2>Final answer: 4/6. </h2>

How many times greater is 8 x 10^-2 than 2x10^-6
umka21 [38]

Answer:

40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to start with the exponent and then multiply afterward in both of the equations.

8 x 10^-2:

10^-2 = 0.01

0.01 x 8 = 0.08

2 x 10^-6:

10^-6 = 0.000001

0.000001 x 2 = 0.000002

Obviously, you can see the relationship between 8 and 2 in the division.  Now, you just divide 0.08 by 0.000002 and you get 40,000.
