Answer:

VW = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, set up the following equation:

(5x - 4) + (2x) = 5x

Solve out left side

7x - 4 = 5x

Subtract 5x from both sides

2x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

x = 2

Plug into 5x - 4

5(2) - 4

10 - 4

6

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 4 + 2x = 5x

7x - 4 = 5x

-4 = -2x

2 = x

5(2) - 4

10 - 4

6
