Question

How do I solve this problem?

Answer 1

The answer will be x=2

Answer 2

x = 12

Explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) = (whole secant) x (external part)

(6+x) *6 = (4+23) * 4

(6+x) *6 = 27*4

6(6+x) = 108

Divide each side by 6

6+x =18

Subtract 6 from each side

6+x-6 =18-6

x = 12
