Question

1. find vw

u • 5 • v x + 2 • w
2x

Explanation:

Step1: Set up equation based on segment - addition postulate

$5+(x + 2)=2x$

Step2: Simplify left - hand side

$x+7 = 2x$

Step3: Solve for x

$7=2x - x$
$x = 7$

Step4: Find VW

Since $VW=x + 2$, substitute $x = 7$ into it.
$VW=7 + 2=9$

Answer:

7
