Notice the picture
we know DE, or the whole segment is 10x-12
and P is the midpoint
so.. the point P is cutting DE in two equal halves,
namely, DP and PE
so... whatever 10x-12 is, DP is half of that
thus
\bf DP=\cfrac{DE}{2}\implies 3x+2=\cfrac{10x-12}{2}

solve for "x",

how long is DP? well, once you get "x", plug it in 3x+2,
that's how long DP is :)

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

x = 48/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There's two good ways to do this problem.

Option 1:

Translate "x varies directly as y" into the equation y=kx

Then you have to find k. After you "reset" your y=kx equation, fill in k and then solve for x. See image.

Option 2:

Translate "varies directly" into a proportion, which is two fractions equal to each other:

x/y = x/y

Fill in the three numbers given and cross multiply and solve to find the fourth number. See image.
