Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

When 2 secants are drawn from an external point to a circle.

The product of the external part and the entire secant of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire secant of the other secant, that is

5(5 + x) = 6(6 + 4) ← distribute and simplify both sides

25 + 5x = 6 × 10

25 + 5x = 60 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

5x = 35 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 7
