Answer:
x=7

Explanation:

By the Intersecting Secants Theorem, we know that:


(5)(x+5)=(6)(6+4)

Having this, we can find the value of "x" by solving for "x":

Applying Distributive property:


(5)(x+5)=(6)(24)\\5x+25=60

Subtract 25 from both sides of the equation:


5x+25-25=60-25\\5x=35

And finally dviding both sides of the equation by 5, we get:


(5x)/(5)=(35)/(5)\\x=7
