They want the point D such that D is equally distant away from the three gates. Call the gates A, B, and C

They want
AD = BD = CD

If we draw a circle through those three points, then point D would be the center
This circle is known as the circumcircle as it goes through the three points
The center D is the circumcenter

So all you have to do is find the perpendicular bisector of two segments of the triangle, say of AB and BC. Then find where those perpendicular bisectors meet. That intersection would be point D. 

Since we don't have actual numbers or coordinates to work with, we can't go further and actually find out where point D is located in terms of (x,y) coordinates. However, you can still get a good idea using a compass and straightedge.

What is the solution to this equation ? x + 12 +3x =18 - 2x
olasank [31]

First, you combine like terms: x+3x=4x: 12+4x=18-2x

Second, you add the 2x to each side (inverse operation): 12+6x=18

Third, you subtract 12 from 18 to cancel out the 12 (inverse operation): 6x=6

Fourth, you divide each side by 6 to find the value of x

The answer is x=1
