Answer:

x = 8.


Explanation:

The external secent line theorem says,
S1E1 = S2E2.

Secent s1 and s2.
External E1 and E2.

E2 = 12.
S2 = 32

S1 = 8 + x.
E1 = 8.

12*32 = 8(8+x).
384 = 8(8+x).
48 = 8+x
x = 40.

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

If you would like to know what is true about the solution of the set of equations, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2x + 2y = 18
x + y = 9    /*2
______________

<span>2x + 2y = 18
</span>2x + 2y = 18
______________
2x + 2y = <span>2x + 2y
</span>18 = 18
0 = 0

The correct result would be infinitely many solutions.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

15 ounces per box

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate StartFraction 165 ounces Over 11 boxes EndFraction describes the relationship between the number of boxes and the weight of the crackers in the boxes. What is the weight, in ounces, of one box?

Total weight of crackers in the boxes = 165 ounces

Total number of boxes = 11 boxes

What is the weight, in ounces, of one box?

Weight per box of crackers =

Total weight of crackers in the boxes / Total number of boxes

= 165 ounces / 11 boxes

= 15 ounces per box

The weight, in ounces, of one box is 15 ounces
