Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

By property of intersecting secants outside of circle.

$PC \times PA = PB \times PD \\ 10(2x + 10) = 9(2x + 3 + 9) \\ 20x + 100 = 18x + 108 \\ 20x - 18x = 108 - 100 \\ 2x = 8 \\ x = \frac{8}{2} \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ x = 4}}$
