PLEASE HELP!! I know I need to factor but I’m confused…

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a tangent and a secant from an external point to a circle, then

The product of the external part and the whole of the secant is equal to the square of the tangent, that is

9(9 + x) = 15²

9(9 + x) = 225 ( divide both sides by 9 )

9 + x = 25 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 16

answer: huh

step-by-step explanation:

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
