Point W is on line segment V X. Given VW = 4x - 7, V X = 5x + 1, and
2 answers:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we have that
Point W is between point V and point X
Points W,V and X are collinear
so
-----> equation A (by addition segment postulate)
we know
substitute the given values in the equation A and solve for x
Combine like terms in the right sides
Group terms that contain the same variable
