Question

ST = 29 and VU = 2x + 5Find the value of x.

Answer 1

Assuming both segments have the same lenght, we would have that

`29=2x+5`

Solving for x :

`\begin{gathered} 29=2x+5 \\ \rightarrow29-5=2x \\ \rightarrow24=2x \\ \rightarrow(24)/(2)=x \\ \Rightarrow x=12 \end{gathered}`

We get that x = 12
