Answer:
x =11
Step-by-step explanation:
(whole secant) x (external part) = (whole secant) x (external part)
( 15+x-2) * (x-2) = (19+x-3) * (x-3)
Combine like terms
(13+x) *(x-2) = (16+x) *(x-3)
Distribute
11x+x^2-26=13x+x^2-48
Subtract x^2 from each side
11x -26 = 13x -48
Subtract 11x from each side
-26 = 2x-48
Add 48 to each side
22 = 2x
Divide by 2
11 =x
