How would you set this problem up to find x?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

33x - 13 = 13x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If "G" is the midpoint of line FH, then both segments (lines FG and GH) must be the same length. Therefore, to find "x", you can set both segments equal to each other. After doing this, you can simplify and isolate to find "x".

FG = 33x - 13

GH = 13x + 7

FG = GH

33x - 13 = 13x + 7

An alligator population in a naturer preserve in the Everglades increased by 60 alligators or five years what is the mean yearly
adelina 88 [10]
I'm not sure what you meant after alligators, if it was or or for, but I think it was for so I'm going with that. If 60 increase every 5 years, it would be 60 over 5 (in fractions). So I would do 60 divided by 5, which would be 12. So that means 12 increase every year. I'm not sure what mean meant either, if you're talking about the mathematical mean, but you can't solve the mean in this problem. The Answer: The yearly change in the alligator population would be 12.
