Question

Segment YB is x+3 units long and segment BW is 2x-9 units long. The diagonal YW is ___ units long.

Answer 1

Answer:

3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment YB = x + 3

Segment BW = 2x - 9

Add the two segments.

x + 3 + 2x - 9

3x - 6

The diagonal YW is 3x - 6 units long.

Answer 2

Answer:

3*(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You should notice that : YW=YB+BW

• YB= x+3
• BW= 2x-9
• YW= x+3+2x-9

              = 3x-6

              = 3*(x-2)
