If W is the midpoint ​of VX, ​​
VX = -8x, and ​WX = -x - 3, ​​find the value of x.


Sagot :

The value of x from the given parameters is 3/7

How to determine the value of x?

The given parameters are:

W is the midpoint ​of VX, ​​

VX = -8x

​WX = -x - 3,

The statement W is the midpoint ​of VX, ​means that

VX = WX

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have:

-8x = -x - 3

Add x to both sides

So, we  have

x - 8x = -3

Evaluate the like terms

-7x = -3

Divide both sides by -7

x = 3/7

Hence, the value of x from the given parameters is 3/7
