solve for x. assume that the lines which appear to be tangent are tangent

The two tangent lines for each circle are the same length. Set the equations to equal and solve for x.

1. 4x + 3 = 3x +12

Subtract 3x from each side:

x +3 = 12

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 9

2. -2 + x = 2x -7

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-2 - x =  -7

Add 2 to each side:

-x = -5

Multiply both sides by -1:

x = 5

answer: -2+√x,-2-√x

i hope this , i don't know if you're looking for a pair or not.
