Answer:
5 units
Explanation:
If point T is on the line segment SU, then ST + TU = SU.
Given
TU = 4x + 1
SU = 8
ST = 3x
To get TU, we need to get the value of x first. To get x, we will substitute the given parameters into the formula;
3x+4x+1 = 8
7x+1 = 8
subtract 1 from both sides
7x+1-1 = 8-1
7x = 7
divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 7/7
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into the length TU
Since TU = 4x+1
TU = 4(1)+1
TU = 5
Hence the numerical length of TU is 5 units
