Using the intersecting chord theorem:

a x b = c x d

x+21 * 4 = x+3 * 10

Simplify:

4x+84 = 10x+30

Subtract 30 from both sides:

4x + 54 = 10x

Subtract 4x from both sides:

54 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 9

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

(segment piece) x (segment piece) =   (segment piece) x (segment piece)

ab = cd

(x+21) *4 = (x+3)*10

Distribute

4x+84=10x+30

Subtract 4x from each side

84 = 10x-4x+30

84 = 6x+30

Subtract 30 from each side

54 = 6x

Divide by 6

54/6 = 6x/6

9=x
