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
The graph that shows the solution to the system of inequalities is: C (see the image attached below).
<h3>How to Determine the Graph of the Solution to a
System of Inequalities?</h3>
Given the following systems of inequalities:
y < -1/3x + 1
y ≤ 2x - 3
Below are the features of the graph that represents a solution to the system of inequalities:
- The boundary line of y < -1/3x + 1 would be a dashed line and the shaded area would be below it, because of the inequality sign, "<".
- The boundary lines of y ≤ 2x - 3 would be a solid line and the shaded area would be below it, because of the inequality sign, "≤".
- The slope of the shaded line that represents y < -1/3x + 1, would be -1/3, and the line would be a decreasing line which intersects the y-axis at 1.
- The slope of the line that represents y ≤ 2x - 3, would be 2, and the line would also be an increasing line that intersects the y-axis at -3.
Therefore, the graph that shows the solution to the system of inequalities is: C (see the image attached below).
