Question

U is the midpoint of TV. If TU = x - 6 and TV = 3x – 23, what is TU?

Answer 1

TU = 5

Explanation:

Since, U is the midpoint of TV.

`\therefore TV = 2 * TU \\ 3x - 23 = 2(x - 6) \\ 3x - 23 = 2x - 12 \\ 3x - 2x = 23 - 12 \\ x = 11 \\ \\ TU = x - 6 \\ TU = 11 - 6 \\ \huge \red { \boxed{TU = 5}}`
