Find WV A. 7 B. 23 C. 84 D. 145

First of all, the answer is A. 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the reason is because, you can see several properties, but the one I used is this one: angle Z is congruent, and since segment YZ = seg WZ, seg XZ = seg VZ, it's SAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and therefore, you know these triangles are congruent, you can set the equation like this: 3x+2 = 12x-61

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9x = 63 x = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg sorry sorry haha I just solved for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay after you get x = 7, you have to plug that number back to your equation, which was 12x-61.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer's gonna be B. 23

sorry about the late reply @tifftinyfame :/
