Point V is on line segment \overline{UW}
UW
. Given VW=x,VW=x, UV=3x-1,UV=3x−1, and UW=5x-5,UW=5x−5, determine the numerical length of \overline{VW}.
VW
.

Respuesta :

The measure of VW from the given expressions is 4

Line segments

If the point V is on the line Uw, then;

UW = UV + VW

Given the following

VW=x, UV=3x-1 and UW=5x-5

Substitute

5x - 5 = 3x-1+x
5x - 5 = 4x - 1

Collect like terms

x = -1 + 5

x = 4

VW = x = 4

Hence the measure of VW from the given expressions is 4
