Answer:
[tex]x=10[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A secant is a line segment that intersects a circle in two places. One property of a secant is the product of the lengths ratio. This ratio can be described as the following, let ([tex]inside[/tex]) refer to the part of the secant that is inside the circle, and ([tex]outside[/tex]) refer to the part that is outside of it. ([tex]total[/tex]) will refer to the entirety of the secant or ([tex]inside+outside[/tex]). The numbers (1) and (2) will be used as subscripts to indicate that there are two different secants.
[tex](outside_1)(total_2)=(outside_2)(total_2)[/tex]
Substitute,
[tex](outside_1)(total_2)=(outside_2)(total_2)[/tex]
[tex](outside_1)(inside_1+outisde_1)=(outside_2)(inside_2+outside_2)[/tex]
[tex](6)(6+x+5)=(7)(7+x+1)[/tex]
Simplify,
[tex](6)(6+x+5)=(7)(7+x+1)[/tex]
[tex]6(x+11)=7(x+8)[/tex]
[tex]6x+66=7x+56[/tex]
Inverse operations,
[tex]6x+66=7x+56[/tex]
[tex]66=x+56[/tex]
[tex]10=x[/tex]
