Question

Segment addition postulate What’s the answer?

Answer 1

$\bf Step-by-step~explanation:$

Keep in mind: The entire line segment (VX) is equal to 14.

$\bf Step~1:$

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

$\bf Step~2:$

We have to solve for the ?. 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

$\large\boxed {\bf Our~final~answer: ~WX=11}$
