Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

The rule for secants is that the product of segment lengths (on the same line) from the point of intersection to the points on the circle is a constant for any given point of intersection. Here, that means ...

... 3×(3+5) = 4×(4+x)

... 6 = 4+x . . . . divide by 4

... 2 = x . . . . . . subtract 4

Comment on this secant relationship

Expressed in this way, the relationship is true whether the point of intersection is inside the circle or outside.

x=4 this is because 5+3 equals 8, and 8 -4 equals 4
