Question

If XD = 2X – 6 and XV = 3x – 6 and WY and XV bisect at D, what is XV?

Answer 1

The diagonal WY bisects the diagonal XV at point D, which means that XV is divided into two equal line segments XD and XV.

`XD=XV`

Replace the equation above with the given expressions for both line segments:

XD= 2x-6

XV= 3x-6

`2x-6=3x-6`
