Answer:
X = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Kindly check the image below for the relationship between two segments in a circle that intersect
A * B = C * D
This relationship is important to understand when trying to solve for x in this type of problem
Now imagine that A = 15 B = x C = 10 and D = 12
Now we want to create an equation
( Using the relationship )
15 * x = 12 * 10
Now we solve for x using basic algebra
12 * 10 = 120
15x = 120
* divide each side by 15 *
15x/15 = x
120 / 15 = 8
we're left with x = 8
