  7. If UW= 4x – 1 and YZ = 5x + 4, find UW and YZ. 2(4x – 1) 5x + 4 = 5x + 4 5x + 4 = 8x – 2 4 = 3x – 2 6 = 3x 4x – 1 2 = x 4(2)-1 = 7 UW = 5(2)+4 = 14 YZ =

  8. If YX= 8x – 2 and VW = 2x + 11, find YX and VW. 2(2x + 11) 8x – 2 = 8x – 2 = 4x + 22 4x – 2 = 22 8x – 2 4x = 24 2x + 11 x = 6 2(6)+11 = 23 VW = 46 8(6)-2 = YX =
