Answer: x = 6

==============================================

Explanation:

The medians of a triangle meet up at the centroid in such a way that they cut each other at a ratio of 2:1, meaning that one part of the median is twice as long as the other. In this case, MO is two times longer than OP, so,

OP = 2*MO

and

MP = MO + OP

MP = MO + 2*MO .... replace OP with 2*MO

MP = 3*MO

9x-24 = 3*(x+4) ... plug in the given expressions

9x-24 = 3x+12

9x-3x = 12+24

6x = 36

x = 36/6

x = 6

How do i do this problem 0.25(x+4)-3=28
KiRa [710]
Distribute the .25 to get .25x + 1 - 3 = 28

Then simplify to get .25x - 2 = 28

Move the two to the right to get .25x = 30

Then divide to leave x: 30 / .25 = 120

X = 120

When a number is decreased by 3.5%, the result is 91 what is the original number to the nearest tenth
sdas [7]

Answer:

87.8

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have to multiply 91 times 3.5 which equals 318.5

                      91 × 3.5 = 318.5

Then divide 318.5 by 100 which equals 3.185

                      318.5 ÷ 100 = 3.185

Next subtract 91 by 3.185 which equals 87.815

                      91 - 3.185 = 87.815

Last Round 87.815 to 87.8

                       87.8 should be the answer

Hope this helps
