Question

Help plsssss What is x

Answer 1

X = 8

Explanation:

Kindly check the image below for the relationship between two segments in a circle that intersect

A * B = C * D

This relationship is important to understand when trying to solve for x in this type of problem

Now imagine that A = 15 B = x C = 10 and D = 12

Now we want to create an equation

( Using the relationship )

15 * x = 12 * 10

Now we solve for x using basic algebra

12 * 10 = 120

15x = 120

* divide each side by 15 *

15x/15 = x

120 / 15 = 8

we're left with x = 8
