Your answer is: m= -6

Here is the simplest way to do it:

3m=5(m+3)−3
=5(m+3)-3: 5m+12
=3m=5m+12
=3m-5m=5m+12-5m
=-2m=12
=-2m/-2=12/-2
=m=-6

3m = 5m+15-3 (distribution)
3m=5m+12 (combining like terms)
-2m=12
m = -6

kupik [55]

Answer:

Options (1), (3) and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

By the property of midsegment,

Segment joining midpoints of two sides of a triangle measures the half of the third side of the triangle and midsegment is parallel to the third side.

Since, points U, V and W are the midpoints of the sides JK, KL and LJ,

UW = $\frac{1}{2}(KL)$

UV = $\frac{1}{2}(JL)$

VW = $\frac{1}{2}(JK)$

UV ║ JL

UW ║ KL

VW ║JK

Therefore, options (1), (3) and (5) are true.
