Question

I need help with this problem if do thank you a lot

Answer 1

x = 10/3

Explanation:

This is a chord-chord relationship

To find x start off by multiplying pieces of the same chord

In this case:

4*(x+5) = 10*x

Now solve:

4(x+5) = 10x

• Distribute

4x + 20 = 10x

• Subtract 20 on both sides

4x + 20 - 20 = 10x - 20

4x = 10x - 20

• Subtract 10x on both sides

4x - 10x = 10x - 20 - 10x

4x - 10x = - 20

• Combine like terms

-6x = -20

• Divide both sides by -6

x = -20/-6

• Simplify

x = 20/6

x = 10/3

Answer 2

Answer: 10/3

Explanation:

Multiply the 2 parts of 1 line and make equalt to the 2 parts of other

4(x+5) =10x solve for x

4x+20=10x

6x=20

x=20/6=10/3
