Answer: x equals 9
Step-by-step explanation: The figure in the question is a Rhombus and one of the properties of a rhombus states that “the diagonals bisect each other.”
This means line SU bisects line TV into two equal parts at point W. This also means that line WV is half of line TV. If line TV equals 74 and line WV equals 4x + 1, then we have the following;
(4x + 1) x 2 = 74
4x + 1 = 74/2
4x + 1 = 37
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation
4x = 36
Divide both sides of the equation by 4
x = 9.
