Question

U is the midpoint of TV . If TU = x + 8 and UV = 2x, what is TU?

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

U is the midpoint of TV ⇒ TV = TU + UV

TU and UV equals each others since U is the midpoint of TV

• UV = TU ⇒   $x+ 8 = 2x$

                          add -x to both sides

                           $x + 8 -x = 2x - x \\8 = x \\x = 8$

• TU = $x + 8$ ⇒ TU = $8 + 8$ = $16$
