63, when multiplying negatives with negatives it cancel each other out.
The last part is confusing but how I think it is is you multiply 32 by 2 and subtract 2
Answer:
x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 secants from an external point to the 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, that is
8(8 + x) = 12(12 + 20)
8(8 + x) = 12 × 32 = 384 ( divide both sides by 8 )
8 + x = 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the length of segment AB.
Then the length of segment BC is (2x - 4).
The length of segment AC is x.
We know that x + (2x - 4) + x = 52.
Therefore 4x - 4 = 52, 4x = 56, x = 14.
Hence the length of segment AB is 14.
