Answer:  The required values are

x = 12 units, ST = 60 units and SU = 120 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that T is the midpoint of SU, where

ST = 5x  and  TU = 3x + 24.

We are to find the values of x, ST and SU.

Since T is the midpoint of SU, so we get

ST=TU\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=3x+24\\\\\Rightarrow 5x-3x=24\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=24\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{24}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=12.

So, the value of x is 12.

Therefore,

ST=5\times12=60

and

SU=5x+3x+24=8x+24=8\times12+24=96+24=120.

Thus, the required values are

x = 12 units, ST = 60 units and SU = 120 units.

If T is the Midpoint of line SU the the values of x, ST and SU are;

x= 12

ST= 60

SU= 120

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>Line segment </h3>
  • A line segment is a piece of a line that has two endpoints.
<h3>A ray </h3>
  • It is a part of a line with one end point and proceeds on in one direction.
<h3>A line </h3>
  • A line refers to collection of line along a straight path proceeding in opposite directions with no endpoints.
<h3>Mid-point </h3>
  • Mid-point is a point on a given line that divides it into two equal parts.
  • Mid-point can be calculated by the formula;
  • Mid point =(\frac{(x_{1} +x_{2})}{2} ), (\frac{(y_{1} +y_{2})}{2})

Where; ((x_{1} ,y_{1}), (x_{2},y_{2}) are co-ordinates of the endpoints of the line.

Therefore;

In this case;

If T is the mid-point of SU then;

ST is equal to TU

But; ST = 5x and TU = 3x+24

Hence;

5x =3x+24

Putting like terms together

5x-3x = 24

2x =24

Dividing both sides by 2

x = 12

Therefore;

x = 12

But;

ST = 5x

            = 5(12)

             = 60

TU = 3x + 24

            = 3(12)+ 24

            = 36 + 24

            = 60

Therefore;

ST = TU and

SU = 120 units

Round 1.961 to the nearest tenth.
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

To round 1.961 to the nearest tenth consider the hundredths’ value of 1.961, which is 6 and equal or more than 5. Therefore, the tenths value of 1.961 increases by 1 to 0.

1.961 rounded to the nearest tenth = 2.0
