Answer:

$x=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$6(x+1)-5x=8+2(x-1)$

solve for x

$6x+6-5x=8+2x-2$

Group terms that contain the same variable and move the constants to the other side

$6x-5x-2x=8-2-6$

$-x=8-8$

$x=0$

6(x + 1) - 5x = 8 + 2(x - 1)
6x + 6 - 5x = 8 + 2x - 2
x + 6 = 6 + 2x
0 = x
So, x = 0

AP and BQ are medians of the triangle ABC and K is the centroid of the triangle.
One of the properties of the medians is that the point of intersection divides the median in the ratio 2:1

So BK = 2 KQ therefore

15 = 2 * KQ
and KQ = 7.5 answer
