If RV=w and SU=w–30, what is the value of w?

Answer:
w = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
the midsegment SU is half the measure of side RV , then
SU = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] RV , so
w - 30 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] w ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )
2w - 60 = w ( subtract w from both sides )
w - 60 = 0 ( add 60 to both sides )
w = 60
