Question

I need help with this please

Answer 1

VX=20

Explanation:

So we know that W is on VX. It doesn't matter where W is, but the two segments must equate to VX. In other words:

`VX=VW+WX`

We know that VX is 4x, VW is 3x, and WX is 5. Substitute:

`4x=3x+5`

Solve for x. Subtract 3x from both sides.

`x=5`

So, the value of x is 5.

To determine VX, substitute 5 for x:

`VX=4x`

`VX=4(5)`

Multiply:

`VX=20`

And we're done!
