Answer:
UW = 36 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
Point V lies between points U and W on Line segment U W. A line has points U, V, W. The length between U V is 2 x minus 4. The length between V W is 4 x + 10. If UW = 9x – 9, what is UW in units?
If a point V lies between points U and W on line segment UW, then based on vector notation, UV + VW = UW.
Given parameters
The length between U and V i.e UV = 2x-4
The length between V and W i.e VW= 4x + 10.
UW = 9x – 9
Required
The length between U and W in units
Since UW = UV+VW, we will substitute the given functions into the formula as shown;
9x-9 = 2x-4+4x + 10.
9x-9 = 2x+4x-4+10
9x-9 = 6x+6
collect like terms on both sides;
9x-6x = 6+9
3x = 15
x = 15/3
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into the function UW = 9x-9 to ge the length of UW in units.
UW = 9(5)-9
UW = 45-9
UW = 36 units
Hence the required length between line segment U and W in units is 36units.
