Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equations equal to each other and solve for x

8x+11 = 12x-1

11=4x-1

12=4x

x=3

<h3>Answer: x = 3</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

T is the midpoint of SU, so point T cuts segment SU into two equal halves. Those two halves being ST and TU, therefore, ST = TU

ST = TU

8x+11 = 12x-1 ... substitution

8x+11-8x = 12x-1-8x ... subtract 8x from both sides

11 = 4x-1

11+1 = 4x-1+1 .... add 1 to both sides

12 = 4x

4x = 12

4x/4 = 12/4 .... divide both sides by 4

x = 3

As a check, plug x = 3 into each equation below

ST = 8x+11 = 8*3+11 = 24+11 = 35

TU = 12x-1 = 12*3-1 = 36-1 = 35

Each piece ST and TU is 35 units long. So this confirms we have the right answer.

Answer:

The following property: If a = b and b = c, then a = c. One of the equivalence properties of equality. Note: This is a property of equality and inequalities.

Congruent Angles have the same angle (in degrees or radians). That is all. These angles are congruent. They don't have to point in the same direction. They don't have to be on similar sized lines.

The segment addition postulate states that if we are given two points on a line segment, A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points meet the requirements of the equation AB + BC = AC.Jan 4, 2016

The (interior) bisector of an angle, also called the internal angle bisector (Kimberling 1998, pp. 11-12), is the line or line segment that divides the angle into two equal parts. The angle bisectors meet at the incenter.
