Answer:
x= 3/8 or 0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
7x+−12=3x+1
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
7x+−12−3x=3x+1−3x
4x+−12=1
Step 3: Add 1/2 to both sides.
4x+−12+12=1+12
4x=32
Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.
4x4=324
x=38
Answer:
PT= 130
Step-by-step explanation:
Since T is the midpoint of segment PQ,
PT = TQ
7x - 24 = 6x-2
Subtract 6x both sides and add 24 both sides
7x -6x - 24 = 6x -6x -2
x - 24 + 24 = -2 + 24
x= 22
Substitue x into PT
7(22) - 24
154 - 24
PT= 130
-10x+7x=-3x
3x+1=37
(-1) (-1)
3x=36
(Divide by 3 each side)
3x divided by 3= x
36 divided by 3 = 6
Answer: x=6
