Answer:

UW = 67

Explanation:

In order to find UW, we need to add UV and VW because them together makes the entire line, also known in this problem as UW. This is our equation:

UV + UV = UW

This is the equation if you plug the numbers:

19 + 4x - 20 = 6x - 35

Combine like terms to make it easier to do the math:

4x - 1 = 6x - 35

Then do the math:

(4x - 4x) -1 = (6x - 4x) - 35

-1 = 2x - 35

(-1 + 35) = 2x (- 35 + 35)

34 = 2x

34/2 = 2x/2

x = 17

Then you plug in x for the UW expression:

6x - 35

6(17) - 35

102 - 35

67

UW = 67
