Question

Find the value of x. A. 7 B. 3 C. 5 D. 35

Answer 1

ZW = WM and YP = PT

This means line PW is the middle of the shape.

PW = 29

YZ = 23

29-23 = 6

There is a difference of 6 btween the top line and the middle line, so there needs to be a difference of 6 from ther middle line to the bottom line.

The bottom line needs to equal: 29 +6 = 35

11x +2 = 35

Subtract 2 from each side:

11x = 33

Divide both sides by 11:

x = 33/11

x = 3

The answer is B.
