Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants from a point outside the circle.

Then the product of the external part and the entire secant of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire secant of the other secant, that is

(x + 1)(x + 1 + 11) = (x + 4)(x + 4 + 1)

(x + 1)(x + 12) = (x + 4)(x + 5) ← expand both sides

x² + 13x + 12 = x² + 9x + 20 ← subtract x² + 9x from both sides

4x + 12 = 20 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 2 → A
