Point W lies between points B and A. If BW = 10x-14, WA = 2x+6, and BA = 16, what is the length of BW?

Answer:

Very simple once you visualize it and write out an equation!

(10x-14)+(2x+6)=16

12x-8=16

12x=24

x=2

now BW= 10x-14 so lets plug x in :D

10(2)-14

=20-14=6

So the final answer will be 6

hope this helps!!
