Math Problem

[Graysonhogs]

Been far to long since I've used any geometry. Figured one of you brainiacs could help:

E is Between K and T
KE=5
KT=3x-1
TE=13

Solve for X.

Hmmm. I guess it's been too long.

If KE=5 and TE=12, then X=6..... but with TE=13, I'm stumped.

[Chad_E]

If KE=5 and TE=13, then KT=18.

Therefore, 3x-1=18
3x=19
x=6.33

[Pineywoods]

If KE=5 and TE=13, then KT=18.

Therefore, 3x-1=18
3x=19
x=6.33

Yep, I'm dumb lol. That shouldn't have been that hard.

If KE=5 and ET=13 then KT=18

18=3x-1
+1 +1
19=3x
/3 /3

19/3 = x
6.33333=x

I assume that KE means the distance from K to E.
If E is between K and T (on the same line), then KE + TE = KT.
Substituting in the expression for each, 5 + 13 = 3x-1
18 = 3x-1
19 = 3x
x = 19/3 = 6.3333
Right?

[Graysonhogs]

Thanks guys.

[LOC4L]

KE[5]+TE[13] = KT[3x-1]

5+13 = 3x-1

18 = 3x-1
18+1 = 3x
19 = 3x
19/3 = x
x =6.333

Good job Brad, even I could follow that.

And I thought you was a machinist.

Really doubting that’s useful in my line. And AutoCad has ruined me.
Lol
I was overthinking it.

I'm still stuck in the M and G code world. Just give me a print with all of the dimensions on it and I'm good. Those fancy computer programs drive me nuts!

Easy to draw a line segment, then do the algebra.

. . .
K. 5. E. 13. T
3x-1 =18

X = 19/3

I am too for the most part. But on some parts its waaaaay faster.
