So, these are actually pretty simple once you learn the equality used to solve for "x" and when to implement this method. You can use this equality to solve for a segment "x" anytime that two secant lines cutting through a circle come from the same point outside the circle.
Secant: by geometric definition is just a straight line that cuts a curve into multiple pieces.
I did one of them for you hopefully you can use my work for "a" to help you solve for "b".
For a. I got x=7.
Answer:
y = 0.20m + 10, 100 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: y = mx + b
Fill it in.
m = slope = 0.20
b = y-intercept = 10
y = 0.20x + 10 (They wanted the variable to be m. So, changing that.)
y = 0.20m + 10
Fill in.
30 = 0.20m + 10
Solve.
20 = 0.20m
100 = m
