Answer 1

Answer:

27 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets add the 2 segments on the top.

8x-11 + 14x-15

Then we can add the like terms together to get

22x-26

The equation above is equal to the equation below the number line, since we added the two on top together, so:

22x-26=19x-17

Now we can start solving

Add 26 to both sides and subtract 19 from both sides

3x=9

Now we can divide by 3

x=3

TU is 14x-15, so we can substitute in 3 for x

14*3-15

42-15

27

Answer 2

Answer:

27 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

8x -11 + 14x -15 = 19x - 17

Combine like terms:

22x - 26 = 19x -17

Subtract 19x on both sides:

(22x - 26) - 19x = (19x - 17) - 19x

3x - 26 = -17

Add 26 on both sides to isolate the x term:

(3x - 26) + 26 = (-17) + 26

3x = 9

Then, divide by 3 on both sides to fully isolate x:

3x / 3 = 9 / 3

x = 3

Plug 3 for x into the formula for TU:

14(3) - 15 = x

42 - 15 = x

x = 27

TU = 27 units

Hope this helps!
