Answer: x = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Add all sides.</em>
2x-2 + 2x - 2 + x + x =
6x - 4
<em>Put " = 0 "</em>
6x-4 = 0
Add 4 to both sides.
6x-4 = 0
+4 = +4
-------------------
6x=4
You get 6x = 4 because the 4 on the left side of the equals sign cancelled out!
<em></em>
<em>NOW DIVIDE 6 FROM BOTH SIDES</em>
6x = 4
/6 /6
-----------
x= 4/6
<em>SIMPLIFY / REDUCE FRACTION</em>
4/6 divided by 2 = 2/3
2/3 is the answer !
<span>The distance from the vertex to the centroid is twice the distance from the centroid to the side.
This means that 3x + 5 = 2 * (2x)
</span><span>3x + 5 = 4x
x = 5
