what is the value of x?
x =

The Intersecting Secant Theorem says

EC × ED = EB × EA

(x+4)(x+4+1) = (x+1)(x+1+11)

(x+4)(x+5)=(x+1)(x+12)

x^2 + 9x + 20 = x^2 + 13 x + 12

8 = 4x

x = 2

Check:

6(7)=42

3(14)=42, good

2

x² + 3x + 7 = 0       [ax² + bx + c]

a = 1

b = 3

c = 7

quadratic formula:

    (+/- is this ±)

plug in the numbers into the variables
