Question

point v is on the line segement uw. given uv =6, uw=5x,and vw=4xminus1,determine the numericial length of vw.

Answer 1

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

VW = 19

The segment UW has a point V between them, so:

UV + VW = UW

6 + 4x - 1 = 5x

4x + 5 = 5x

x = 5

The numerical length is

VW = 4x - 1

VW = 4(5) - 1

VW = 19
