Question

RS bisects TU at Q. If TQ=5k-9 and QU=15-x

Answer 1

x = 4, TU = 22

Explanation:

Given that TS bisects TU at Q , then

TQ = QU , substitute values

5x - 9 = 15 - x ( add x to both sides )

6x - 9 = 15 ( add 9 to both sides )

6x = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 4

Thus

TU = 5x - 9 + 15 - x = 4x + 6 = 4(4) + 6 = 16 + 6 = 22
