In the figure, find the measure of TU⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

TU = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two secant segments that are drawn from a circle to meet at an exterior point of the circle. Thus, according to the secant secant theorem, the product of the measure of one secant segment and its external secant segment equals that of the product of the other and its external secant segment.

Thus:

VU*TU = VW*BW

Substitute

7(x + 4) = 9(-2 + x)

7x + 28 = -18 + 9x

Collect like terms

7x - 9x = -18 - 28

-2x = -46

Divide both sides by -2

x = -46/-2

x = 23

✔️TU = x + 4

Plug in the value of x

TU = 23 + 4

TU = 27

2/3

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
