Answer:

x = -1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you need to expand the brackets. So this would give, 8 + 12x - 6.

Then you collect like terms to give, 12x + 2. After this, we solve for x. To do this we need to assume that all this is = 0. Then it's easy to solve:

12x + 2 = 0

12x = -2

x = -2/12

x = -1/6

What is the power of x? A) 2 B) 3 C) 6 D) 7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

They are basically wanting the value of x.

These are 2 secant lines drawn. Secant Line is a line that intersects the circle at 2 points.

To solve this, we have to use secant-secant theorem.

Secant-Secant Power Theorem tells us that if 2 secant lines are drawn from external point (here, E) to a circle, then, product of measure of one secant's external part and total secant is equal to other secants external part and whole secant.

In algebra, that is:

$(x+1)(x+1+11)=(x+4)(x+4+1)$

Let's multiply and find the value of x:

$(x+1)(x+1+11)=(x+4)(x+4+1)\\(x+1)(x+12)=(x+4)(x+5)\\x^2 + 13x + 12=x^2+9x+20\\13x+12=9x+20\\13x - 9x = 20 - 12\\4x = 8\\x = 2$

Hence, the correct answer choice is A

My question is in the attachment.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

5 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

let the son's age be x then the father's age is x + 20

In 5 years

son = x + 5 and father = x + 20 + 5 = x + 25

Then

x + 25 = 3(x + 5) ← father is three times as old as son

x + 25 = 3x + 15 ( subtract x from both sides )

25 = 2x + 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

10 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

5 = x and x + 20 = 5 + 20 = 25

si=on is 5 and father is 25
