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.
Step-by-step explanation:
10x²+2x-8=0
=>10x²+10x-8x-8=0
=>10x(x+1)-8(x+1)=0
=>(10x-8)(x+1)=0
=>2(5x-4)(x+1)=0
Option B
Answer:
Below
Step-by-step explanation:
9 
688
x 29
6192
1376 x
19952
So you start by taking 9 from 29 and multiplying it by 688. when you get the answer put it below the line. then multiply the 2 from the 29 and whne you get the answer put a zero on the end and then add the answer you got from 9x688 (6192) and 2x688 (13760) and then thats youre answer. hope it helps!
