Answer:
A simple way to calculate the distance between numbers on a number line is to count every number between them. A faster way is to find the distance by taking the absolute value of the difference of those numbers. For example, the absolute values of 4 and -4, or |4| and |-4|, are both 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know the answer but A is definitely not the answer just to save you a chance
The 3rd one x = -4 and x = 4.
Answer: x = 6

Explanation:
The medians of a triangle meet up at the centroid in such a way that they cut each other at a ratio of 2:1, meaning that one part of the median is twice as long as the other. In this case, MO is two times longer than OP, so,
OP = 2*MO
and
MP = MO + OP
MP = MO + 2*MO .... replace OP with 2*MO
MP = 3*MO
9x-24 = 3*(x+4) ... plug in the given expressions
9x-24 = 3x+12
9x-3x = 12+24
6x = 36
x = 36/6
x = 6
