Answer:
17, 19, 21
Step-by-step explanation:
x = first number
x+2 = second number
x+4 = third number
4x + 3(x+2) + 2(x+4) = 167
simplify:
4x + 3x + 6 + 2x + 8 = 167
combine like terms:
9x + 14 = 167
subtract 14 from each side of the equation:
9x = 153
divide both sides by 9:
x = 17
He was not supposed to simplify. He could have multiplied straight across and got 12/63 and he would simplify that which would be 4/21 im thinking
<h3>Answer:</h3>
x = 3
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The product of the lengths of segments from the intersection point to the circle is the same for both secants.
... 1×6 = 2×x
... 6/2 = x = 3 . . . . . divide by 2

<em>Comment on secant geometry</em>
Interestingly, this relation is true whether the point of intersection of the secants is inside the circle or outside.
When it is outside, the product is of the distance to the near intersection with the circle and the distance to the far intersection with the circle.
