The two lines start at the same point outside the circle, using the intersecting Secants theorem, When you multiply the two dims for each line together, they are equal

For A:

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

25 + 5x = 60

5x = 35

x = 35/5

x = 7

For B:

5 * (5+ 3) = 4 * ( 4+x)

40 = 16 + 4x

4x = 24

x = 24/4

x = 6
