Question

If VW is congruent to VU, find m 10 years ago

Answer 1

Is there a figure?

Answer 2

Since those angles are congruent, the opposite sides are congruent.
Set the expressions of the lengths of the sides equal and solve for x.
What do you get for x?

Answer 3

Can you help me step by step to get my answer?

Answer 4

\[(8x-1)=(5x+23)\]
then
\[8x-5x-1=23\]
then
\[3x-1=23\]
then
\[3x=24\]
then
\[x=\frac{ 24 }{ 3 }=8\]

Answer 5

Thats not correct I believe

Answer 6

That was the first step, which is to solve the equation to find the value of x.
Now that you know x is 8, substitute 8 in the expression for the measure of angle W, and find the measure of the angle.

m<W = 5x + 23
Replace x with 8.
What do you get for the expression?
