Horatio is solving the equation Negative three-fourths + two-fifths x = StartFraction 7 Over 20 EndFraction x minus one-half. Which equations represent possible ways to begin solving for x? Check all that apply. Two-fifths x = StartFraction 7 Over 20 EndFraction x + one-fourth
Two-fifths x = StartFraction 7 Over 20 EndFraction x + five-fourths
Negative three-fourths = negative StartFraction 1 Over 20 EndFraction x minus one-half
Negative three-fourths = three-fourths x minus one-half
Negative three-fourths + StartFraction 1 Over 20 EndFraction x = negative one-half

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
