Answer:
A and B, A and C
Step-by-step explanation:
A and B touch at T same as A and C. The tangent is in between the two circles but through the touching points. B and C share the tangent but externally since at T it does not pass in between them.
Start by distributing the 7 to both terms on the left hand side, and the 5 to both terms on the right hand side.
7(x - 2) = 5(x + 4)
7x - 14 = 5x + 20
Now, to solve for x, start by isolating the variable as much as you can.
7x - 5x = 20 + 14
2x = 34
x = 17
2. x^2 +6x +8 = (x+4)(x+2)
3. x^2 -7x +12 = (x-4)(x-3)
4. g^2 -2g -24 = (g+4)(g-6)
