Keep in mind: The entire line segment (VX) is equal to 14.
Let's see how the line segment looks like first.
Line segment VX is 14 units long.
14
______________
V X
W is on the line segment somewhere, and VW is equal to 3.
3 ?
______________
V W X
We have to solve for the <em>?.</em> Let's put ? as x. So now we are solving for x.
We have to set up our equation like this:
x + 3 = 14
Since our unknown value plus 3 is equal to 14, we have to subtract 3 from 14 to get our answer.
14 - 3 = 11
3 11

V W X
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1). 10 =
10(7 + x) = 1 + 7x
70 + 10x = 7x + 1
10x - 7x = 1 - 70
3x = -69
x = -23
2). 0.2 =
0.2(12 + x) = 6 + 2x
2.4 + 0.2x = 6 + 2x
2.4 - 6 = 2x - 0.2x
1.8x = -3.6
x = -2
3). 0.8 =
0.8(x + 0.5) = x
0.8x + 0.4 = x
x - 0.8x = 0.4
0.2x = 0.4
x = 2
4). 3.5 =
3.5(0.5 - x) = 4 + 2x
1.75 - 3.5x = 4 + 2x
-3.5x - 2x = 4 - 1.75
-5.5x = 2.25
x = -
x = -
