Given that Point T is on line segment SU, the numerical value of segment TU is 12.
<h3>What is the numerical value of TU?</h3>
Given the data in the question;
- Point T is on line segment SU
- Segment SU = 3x-7
- Segment ST = x+7
- Segment TU = x-1
- Numerical value of Segment TU = ?
Since Point T is on line segment SU.
Segment SU = Segment ST + Segment TU
Plug in the given values and solve for x
3x - 7 = ( x+7 ) + ( x-1 )
3x - 7 = x + 7 + x - 1
3x - 7 = 2x + 6
3x - 2x = 6 + 7
x = 13
Next, we determine the numerical value of TU
Segment TU = x-1
Plug in value of x
Segment TU = 13 - 1
Segment TU = 12
Given that Point T is on line segment SU, the numerical value of segment TU is 12.
