Question

Point U is on line segment TV. Given UV = 2, TU = 5x, and TV = 3x + 6,

Answer 1

Answer:

TV = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

TV = TU + UV

3x + 6 = 5x + 2

Shift the unknowns to the left, constants to the right.

3x - 5x = 2 - 6

-2x = -4

Divide both sides by -2.

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into the equation for TV (3x + 6),

3x + 6

= 3(2) + 6

= 6 + 6

= 12
