Answer:
[tex]\mathrm{B}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]WV=XY[/tex]
[tex]12x-61=3x+2[/tex]
[tex]12x-3x=2+61[/tex]
[tex]9x=63[/tex]
[tex]9x/9=63/9[/tex]
[tex]x=7[/tex]
[tex]12x-61[/tex]
[tex]12(7)-61[/tex]
[tex]=23[/tex]
B. 23
This is a congruent triangle by SAS Postulate
So,
XY = WV
=> 3x+2 = 12x-61
=> 2+61 = 12x-3x
=> 63 = 9x
Dividing both sides by 9
=> x = 7
Now Side WV:
=> 12(7)-61
=> 84-61
=> 23
