The value of x from the given parameters is 3/7
How to determine the value of x?
The given parameters are:
W is the midpoint of VX,
VX = -8x
WX = -x - 3,
The statement W is the midpoint of VX, means that
VX = WX
Substitute the known values in the above equation
So, we have:
-8x = -x - 3
Add x to both sides
So, we have
x - 8x = -3
Evaluate the like terms
-7x = -3
Divide both sides by -7
x = 3/7
Hence, the value of x from the given parameters is 3/7
