Question: Find $UV$ in rectangle $TUVW$. $U$ $2x-81$ $V$ $3x-98$ $x$ $T$ $W$ $UV = $
1. **State the problem:** We need to find the length of side $UV$ in rectangle $TUVW$. 2. **Recall properties of rectangles:** Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length. So, $UV = TW$ and $TU = VW$. 3. **Given:** - $UV = 2x - 81$ - $TU = 3x - 98$ - $VW = x$ Since $TU$ and $VW$ are opposite sides, they must be equal: $$3x - 98 = x$$ 4. **Solve for $x$:** $$3x - 98 = x$$ $$3x - \cancel{x} - 98 = \cancel{x}$$ $$2x - 98 = 0$$ $$2x = 98$$ $$x = \frac{98}{2}$$ $$x = 49$$ 5. **Find $UV$ by substituting $x=49$ into $2x - 81$:** $$UV = 2(49) - 81$$ $$UV = 98 - 81$$ $$UV = 17$$ **Final answer:** $$\boxed{17}$$
