Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you know that the sides are congruent.

AC: 3x + 6

AB: 6x - 3

BC: 5x

So, here is the equation you can set up:

3x + 6 = 6x -3 = 5x

You can't really solve an equation with 3 equal signs, so break it up:

3x + 6 = 6x - 3

+3 +3

3x + 9 = 6x

-3x -3x

9 = 3x

/3 /3

3 = x

Now see if it works:

3x + 6 = 6x -3 = 5x

plug in x (or 3)

3(3) + 6 = 6(3) -3 = 5 (3)

9 + 6 = 18 - 3 = 15

15 = 15 = 15

So, yes!

x = 3

What is the value of x????

If QR is a median, then:

$\dfrac{NO+MP}{2}=QR$

We have NO = 30, MP = 9x - 42 and QR = x + 15. Substitute:

$\dfrac{30+9x-42}{2}=x+15\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\9x-12=2x+30\qquad\text{add 12 to both sides}\\\\9x=2x+42\qquad\text{subtract 2x from both sides}\\\\7x=42\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7}\\\\\boxed{x=6}$

Round 6.7086 to the nearest thousandth

Bingel [31]

$\text {Hello! Let's solve this Problem!}$

$\text {To round to the nearest thousandth you must underline the thousandth place}$ $\text {(which is 8), point an arrow to 6 (in the ten-thousandth place)}$

$\text {If the number is 5 or more you raise the score. Meaning you add 1 to the}$ $\text {thousandth place. If the number is 4 or lower you keep the number the same.}$

$\text {6 is greater than 5. So this means you add 1 to 8 and it becomes 9. Every}$ $\text {number behind it becomes 0.}$

$\text {Your Answer Would Be:}$

$\huge\boxed {\text {6.7090 or 6.709}}$

$\text {Best of Luck!}$
