@stgreen

Answer 2

@agent0smith CAN U HELP ME PLEASE??

Answer 3

It's an angle bisector, so UQ and UV are equal. So...

5x + 9 = 7x + 1

Answer 4

THTS All i have to write?

Answer 5

Well no, you have to solve for x. And then once you find x, find the length of UV, which is

UV = 7x + 1

Answer 6

so wat i do after

Answer 7

5x + 9 = 7x + 1
-9 -9
5x=7x-8
11x=-8? @agent0smith

Answer 8

How'd you get 11x?

Answer 9

added the two x's

Answer 10

12x

Answer 11

It won't be 12x from this:

5x = 7x - 8

Answer 12

oh!

Answer 13

What'd you get?

Answer 14

im not sure wat to do after

Answer 15

After what? You need to get all the x's on one side of this equation:

5x = 7x - 8

Answer 16

so i just add them or wat?

Answer 17

Do the same thing you did earlier with the 9, but with the x. Like this

5x + 9 = 7x + 1
-9 -9
5x=7x-8

Answer 18

mhm i know

Answer 19

but right here 5x=7x-8 i jus leave it like tht?

Answer 20

No, what did you do with the 9... you subtracted it from both sides, right? Now try that to get all the x's on one side.

Answer 21

do i suntract 7x ?

Answer 22

Yes

Answer 23

i get -2x

Answer 24

So now what does your equation look like?

Answer 25

-2x=-8
x=4

Answer 26

Correct! Now don't forget the question was asking for the length of UV

Answer 27
