Question

Find x segments of circles

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -9

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that:

x (x + 7) = 6*3

x² + 7x = 18

x² + 7x - 18 = 0

Now solving by quadratic formula we get;

x = 2, and -9

if we substitute in -9 for x, let's see what happens:

(-9) (-9 + 7) = 6*3

(-9) (-2) = 6*3

18 = 18

therefore x = -9 works! Let's see what happens if we substitute x in for 2;

(2) (2 + 7) = 6*3

(2) (9) = 6*3

18 = 18

Therefore x = 2 works as well!

The final answer would be;

x = -9

x = 2

Hope this helps!
