Step-by-step explanation:
I just learned about this too. I'll use what I know to help you out.
According to whatever law of the circle, where you have two intersecting lines within the bounds of a circle(that'd be TQ and SW), the product of the divided segments will equal each other.
So to put that in terms, TU times QU = SU times WU.
So let's get the value of segment TU, which is 1.5
Then let's get the value of segment of QU, which is 4.
Now let's get the value of WU, which is 3. We don't know what SU is yet. So put it in algebraic form.
1.5(4)=3x
6=3x
2=x

To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.
