Find X and TU
Show all the work

Answer 1

x = 10, TU = 24

Explanation:

The midsegment TU is half the sum of the parallel bases, that is

`(1)/(2)` (3x + 2+ 2x - 4 ) = 2x + 4 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

5x - 2 = 4x + 8 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x - 2 = 8 ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 10

Then

TU = 2x + 4 = 2(10) + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24
