If two chords intersect in a circle, then the products of the measures of the segments of the chords are equal.
I'm assuming that number up top is an 8. It's kind of blurry.
Since ten is a chord, and x is a segment of it, it can be expressed as x and 10 - x.
3(8) = x(10 - x)
(x - 6)(x - 4) = 0
x - 6 = 0 .... x - 4 = 0
x = 6 .... x = 4
4 or 6

The equivalent expression to is
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In sums like these, it is easier to take the common term out of the simplification.
In the expression , the common term between
and
is the term s. So we take the term s as the common factor.
So taking s out of we get
Step 2:
If we multiply a positive with a negative we get a negative. S0
So the equivalent expression to is
