Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that T is the midpoint of line PQ, segments PT = 5x + 2, and TQ = 7x - 6 that are formed would be equidistant or congruent. PT = TQ.

Therefore:

$5x + 2 = 7x - 6$

Let's find the value of x

Rearrange the equation, so that the terms having x would be on your left, while those without x would be on your right.

$5x - 7x = - 2 - 6$

$-2x = -8$

Divide both sides by -2

$x = 4$

Plug in the value of x into the expression, 5x + 2, to find PT.

PT = 5(4) + 2 = 22.

You could use 10 for Karma and 20 for her father since 5 years ago they would have bee 15 and 5 and since Karma was 1/3 of her fathers age and 15 * 1/3 = 5 and 20 * 1/2 is 10 so technically that works

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \frac{2x-20}{3}=2x \end{gathered}$}$

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf 2x-20=6x \end{gathered}$}$

Subtract 6x on both sides.

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf 2x-20-6x=0 \end{gathered}$}$

Combine 2x and −6x to get −4x.

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -4x-20=0 \end{gathered}$}$

Add 20 to both sides. Any value plus zero results in its same value.

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -4x=20 \end{gathered}$}$

Divide both sides by −4.

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=\frac{20}{-4} \end{gathered}$}$

Divide 20 by −4 to get −5.

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=-5 \ \ \to \ \ \ Answer \end{gathered}$}$
