Geometry: Is my answer correct?

OpenStudy (lime):

OpenStudy (lime):

5x = 3x + 32 2x - 32 = 0 x = 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is wrong since ST=5x =5*16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well u solved correct eqtn

hartnn (hartnn):

x=16 is correct

hartnn (hartnn):

but ST is not x,ST is 5x ! 5x=5*16=??

OpenStudy (lime):

5(16) = 3(16) + 32?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but you have chosen wrong number in the final mult-choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ST=5*x=5*16 ST=TU SU=2*ST

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How much is 5*16 ?

OpenStudy (lime):

80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now - you r told that this is HALF the length ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the NAME of the full length ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c'mn...

OpenStudy (lime):

I understand that 80 + 80 = 160.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Again what is the denotation of the FULL interval ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is called SU

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so SU = 160

OpenStudy (lime):

Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

choose now the answer that will have this in it and the other fact that u fnd

OpenStudy (lime):

TU = 80, then ST = 80? 80 + 16 = only 96?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG - why, why , why - READ THE FIRST DATA : T is the midpoint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lime ?...

OpenStudy (lime):

T is the midpoint of SU. T is the midpoint of 160.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what is the length of the left HALF (and its name is ST...) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So ur answer must be Line-2 from the top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BTW medal....

OpenStudy (lime):

ST is 80. I said that. Because 80 + 16 only equals 96 which is not enough. 80 + 80 = 160.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why you push into it 16 for ?!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Left half 80, Right half 80 , total length 160

OpenStudy (lime):

Exactly. I was explaining why C was NOT the answer after I had figured it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aand what IS the answer ?

OpenStudy (lime):

B. 80 + 80 = 160. Both halves equal the whole.

OpenStudy (lime):

I always manage to excommunicate and get into debates with my tutors. Anyhow, thanks guys. :)
