Question

M is the MIDPOINT OF FG. FG = 26 AND GM = (3X - 2)

Answer 1

It is given in the question that

M is the MIDPOINT OF FG.

$FG = 26 \ AND \ GM = (3X - 2)$

Since M is the midpoint of FG, therefore GM is half of FG. That is

$3X-2 = \frac{1}{2} (26)$

$3X-2 =13 \\ 3X = 15 \\ X =5$

Therefore

$GM = 3(5) -2 = 13$

And FM is 13 too .
