17. how would you find x and solve for it?

The formula for secant lines is the outside x the overall length is equal to the outside times the overall length of the second line.

A) 5*(x+5) = 6*10

SImplify:

5x +25 = 60

Subtract 25 from both sides:

5x = 35

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 35/5

x = 7

B) 3*8 = 4*(x+4)

Simplify:

24 = 4x +16

Subtract 16 from both sides:

4x = 8

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 8/4

X = 2

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
