If UV = x+8, VW = 6x-8, and UW=14, what is VW?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Agata [3.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

VW=4\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of x

In this problem i will assume that  U,V and W are collinear and V is between U and W

so

UW=UV+VW ----> by addition segment postulate

substitute the given values

14=(x+8)+(6x-8)

solve for x

14=7x

x=2

step 2

Find the value of VW

VW=(6x-8)

substitute the value of x

VW=(6(2)-8)=4\ units

Solve the system of equations:
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

z = 3

2y + z = 1

2y + 3 = 1        {substituting z =3}

2y = 1 -3

2y = -2

y = - 2/2

y = -1

2x +3y +2z = 13

2x + 3 * (-1) + 2*3 = 13      { {substituting z =3} and y = -1}

2x -3 + 6 =13

2x + 3 = 13

2x  = 13 - 3

2x= 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

⦟KLJ and ⦟JLM are a linear pair. Find the measures of ⦟KLJ and ⦟JLM.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 12 + 4x + 8 =  180 {Linear pair}

6x + 4x + 12 + 8 = 180 {Combine like terms}

         10x + 20  = 180   {Subtract 20 from both sides}

              10x =  180 - 20

             10x  = 160    {Divide both sides by 10}

               x = 160/10

                x = 16

m∠KLJ = 6*16 + 12

            = 96 +12

            = 108

m∠JLM = 4*16 + 8

            = 64 + 8

            = 72

Triangle LMN is a right triangle. True or false
Lynna [10]

Answer:False

They’re not equal meaning it’s not a right triangle. Sorry for my first answer. I was supposed to use the Pythagorean theorm

What is the slope of the line?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Using it's concept, the slope of the line is of 3.

<h3>How to find the slope of a line given two points?</h3>

The slope of a line, given two points, is given by change in y divided by change in x.

In this problem, the points are (1,5) and (2,8), hence the slope is given by:

m = (8 - 5)/(2 - 1) = 3.

The slope of the line is of 3.
