I need help with this please

Answer 1

Answer:

VX=20

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that W is on VX. It doesn't matter where W is, but the two segments must equate to VX. In other words:

$VX=VW+WX$

We know that VX is 4x, VW is 3x, and WX is 5. Substitute:

$4x=3x+5$

Solve for x. Subtract 3x from both sides.

$x=5$

So, the value of x is 5.

To determine VX, substitute 5 for x:

$VX=4x$

$VX=4(5)$

Multiply:

$VX=20$

And we're done!
