Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
With the given figure, the line TV = 74 and the line SU bisects this line, making it equal on each side, or TW = WV. So, if the entire line is 74, than each side of the line is 74 ÷ 2 = 37.
Since WV = 37 and also the expression '4x + 1', we can set these two equal to each other and solve for 'x':
4x + 1 = 37
Subtract 1 from both sides: 4x + 1 - 1 = 37 - 1 or 4x = 36
Divide both sides by 4: 4x/4 = 36/4 or x = 9
