Answer:
Numerical length of VX = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that VX is a line segment which has a point W on it.
Kindly refer to the attached diagram for the given points.
We are also given the following dimensions:
[tex]VX=4x\\VW=3x\ and \\WX=5[/tex]
To find:
Numerical length of VX = ?
Solution:
As we can clearly see from the attached diagram:
[tex]VX = VW + WX[/tex]
Putting the given values:
[tex]4x=3x+5[/tex]
Now, let us solve for [tex]x[/tex] and then will put the value of [tex]x[/tex] back to find the numerical value of VX.
[tex]\Rightarrow 4x-3x=5\\\Rightarrow x =5[/tex]
Now,
[tex]VX = 4 \times x = 4\times 5 =\bold{20}[/tex]
Therefore, numerical value of VX is 20.
