Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2
(x+5) *x = 6^2
x^2 +5x = 36
Subtract 36 from each side
x^2 +5x - 36 = 0
Factor
( x-4) (x+9) = 0
Using the zero product property
x-4 = 0 x+9 =0
x = 4 x=-9
Cannot be negative since that is negative length
x=4
It’s C if you’re supposed to view it from the top, but A from the side
Just took the test, the answer is C.

The answer would be 2 because the problem(after rewriting it) is -8w+48=32. so then you subtract 48 from both sides and get -8w=-16. then divide both sides by -8 and you get 2
The easiest way to think of these is to put them in terms of percentages. Obviously, if you are SAVING 25%, you are SPENDING 75%. So if she SPENDS 13.50, we can easily use the 75% in an equation. $13.50 = .75x, with x being what the shoes cost originally. The .75 indicates that she is spending 75% of what the original cost is. You don't have any examples to pick from, but this is the best way to explain what one of the equations could be. You could also base it on money saved, but the equation is not quite as neat.
