Question

Intersecting Secant (Exterior) Find X =

Answer 1

Answer: x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:    the equation to solve this is:

4 × (4 + 8) = 3 × (3 + x)

so we solve the first half of that:

4 × (4 + 8)

4 × 12

48

now we have:

48 = 3 × (3 + x)

so we switch the sides to make it easier and solve

3 × (3 + x) = 48

divide both sides by 3

3 × (3 + x) ÷ 3 = 48 ÷ 3

and get

3 + x = 16

now subtract 3 from both sides

3 + x = 16

-3         -3

and finally we get

x = 13

hope this helped :)
