Point T is on line segment \overline{SU} SU . Given TU=4x+1,TU=4x+1, SU=8,SU=8, and ST=3x, ST=3x, determine the numerical length of \overline{TU}. TU .

Step-by-step explanation:

If point T is on the line SU, then ST+TU = SU. Given  TU=4x+1, SU=8, and ST=3x

Substituting the given values into the expression ST+TU = SU

8 = 3x+4x+1

8 = 7x+1

collect like terms;

7x = 8-1

7x = 7

Divide through by 7

7x/7 = 7/7

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into the expression TU = 4x+1 to get the length of TU

TU = 4(1)+1

TU = 4+1

TU = 5

Hence the length of TU is 5
