Since they tell us that Q is the midpoint you now understand that the line is split evenly.
PQ=QR
2x+3=3x-2
2x+5=3x
x=5.
To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.
Hey there!
You are trying to find the perimeter of triangle ABC. Each side is 2. Since there are 3 sides on a triangle, multiply 2 by 3 to get 6. You do not need the centroid for this problem.
I hope this helps!
Ed because 2 and 8 are equal
