Remark
When two chords intersect, the segments of one line multiplied together equal the second line's segments multiplied together.
Givens
3x*(x+ 1) = k
4x * x = k
Substitute and solve.
3x*(x + 1) = 4x * x Remove the brackets.
3x^2 + 3x = 4x^2 Bring the left side over to the right side.
0 = 4x^2 - 3x^2 - 3x
0 = x(x - 3)
One of the answers is 0
the other value of x = 3. O would have no meaning.
