Hi, I'm new can I get marked as brainlieser? It would be highly appreciated.

Hope my answer helps :)

lets get into answering your question.

Step-by-step explanation:

first sub x into the equation (x=5) [it is already given]

9 ( 4*5 + 2) 36*5 + 18

= 9 (20+2) 180+18

= 9(22) + 198

198+198

= 369

369 makes a circle So YES

it is a circle.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
