Question

If TU = 3x-12 and SU = 4x + 2, find the value of x. Then find the length of TU and SU.

If ST= x + 3 and TU= 4x-6, find the value of x. Then find the length of ST and TU.

Answer 1

@TheSmartOne

Answer 2

There must be a diagram that came with the question

Answer 3

there isnt at all

Answer 4

Any other information?
Is TU and SU the same length

Answer 5

i dont know thats all it asked me

Answer 6

There has to be like one sentence before the question at least

Answer 7

ohhh ill take a pic my bad there is a diagram

Answer 8

give me a sec

Answer 9

So ST = TU
because they're bot the same length

SU is the whole line and if you divide it by two you get the length of ST and TU

Answer 10

so
SU/2 = TU

so plug in the expressions and solve for x
(4x+2)/2 = 3x-12

Answer 11

And for question #3 you just set ST = TU and solve for x

And once you get the value of x, you plug it in to the expressions and get the value. And you should get the same number for ST and TU

Answer 12

x = 13

Answer 13

and then x=6

Answer 14

how do i plug it in the expression?

Answer 15

First one is correct

x=6 is wrong

#3)
x+3 = 4x-6
solve for x

Answer 16

you plug it in just like you did for question #1, I'm not sure how you correctly found out x=6 for that question but you plugged it in correctly :)

Answer 17

so thats how i would get ST and TU

Answer 18

is it 39?

Answer 19

Answer 20

can i plz get help

Answer 21

@Vocaloid

Answer 22

You plug in x=13 for question #2

so essentially
SU = 4(13)+2 = ??
TU = 3(13)- 12 = ??
