Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is based on Secant Secant theorem.
Secant Secant theorem gives us the following formula:
(AB + BD)AB = (AC + CE).AC
From the above question we have the following parameters
AB = 5
BD = x
AC = 7.5
CE = 4.5
Hence,
(AB + BD)AB = (AC + CE).AC
(5 + x)5 = (7.5 + 4.5)7.5
25 + 5x = 90
Collect like terms
5x = 90 - 25
5x = 65
x = 65/5
x = 13
Answer:
b or d
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
use the distributive property to distribute the 8
-16+16n+3n=40+5n
-16+19n=40+5n
-16=40+5n-19n
-16=40-14n
-14n+40= -16
-14n= -16-40
-14n= -56
n= -56/-14
n= 4
we are given

Firstly, we will find all possible factors of 144

we can also write as

now, we can put exponent to over entire term

now, we can replace 144

now, sqrt will get cancelled with square
and we get

now, we can simplify it

.............Answer
The answer would be B) 2.
