I'm in need of help with some of the problems, it would be nice if you could explain how to solve them!

1. If XT = 12 and XZ = 21, then TZ = ____
2. If XZ = 3x, XT = x + 3, and TZ = 13, find XZ.
3. Suppose that T is the midpoint of segment XZ
If XT = 2x + 11 and XZ = 5x + 8, find the value of x.

I will donate 25k vbux if you're willing to help me solve these questions!.

1. 21 - 12 = 9 = TZ
2. ???
3. 3x = 3, x=1

No need to donate. Good luck with number 2.

Thanks for the help, but could you possibly explain how to solve them?

1. If XT = 12 and XZ = 21, then TZ = 9
When you subtract the total distance (XZ) from a partial distance (XT), you get the remaining distance of the line (TZ).
(XZ) - (XT) = (TZ)
21 - 12 = 9


2. ???

3. Suppose that T is the midpoint of segment XZ. If XT = 2x + 11 and XZ = 5x + 8, find the value of x.
2x + 11 = 5x + 8 (subtract 2x from both sides)
11 = 3x + 8 (subtract 8 from both sides)
3 = 3x (divide both sides by 3)
1 = x or x = 1

2)
XZ = XT + TZ

3x = x + 3 + 13

3x = x + 16

2x = 16

x = 8

XZ = 3x

XZ = 3*8

XZ = 24

Don't worry about the vBux Smile

Oh thanks dude, I understand it now. Could you ever help me with geometry if I need it again possibly?
