Question

Point Tis on line segment SU. Given TU = 4x + 1, SU = 8, and ST = 3x,

Answer 1

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If point T is on the line segment SU, then ST + TU = SU.

Given

TU = 4x + 1

SU = 8

ST =  3x

To get TU, we need to get the value of x first. To get x, we will substitute the given parameters into the formula;

3x+4x+1 = 8

7x+1 = 8

subtract 1 from both sides

7x+1-1 = 8-1

7x = 7

divide both sides by 7

7x/7 = 7/7

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into the length TU

Since TU = 4x+1

TU = 4(1)+1

TU = 5

Hence the numerical length of TU is 5 units
