Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in triangle ABC AM is one median

D is the centroid

We know by triangle conjectures that

in any triangle centroid divides median in the ratio 2:1

i.e. If D is centroid on AM,

then AD:DM =2:1

Substitute for AD and DM the given values

$x+3:2x-1 =2:1\\x+3 =2(2x-1)\\x+3=4x-2\\5=3x\\Or x=\frac{5}{3}$

Hence answer is the length of AM

= AD+DM

= $x+3+2x-1\\=3x+2\\=3(\frac{5}{3} )+2\\=7$

Option A is the answer

Answer:

$x + \frac{5}{3}-x - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x + \frac{5}{3}-x - \frac{3}{2}$

Required

Solve

$x + \frac{5}{3}-x - \frac{3}{2}$

Collect like terms

$x + \frac{5}{3}-x - \frac{3}{2} = x -x+ \frac{5}{3} - \frac{3}{2}$

$x + \frac{5}{3}-x - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{5}{3} - \frac{3}{2}$

Take LCM

$x + \frac{5}{3}-x - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{10 -9}{6}$

$x + \frac{5}{3}-x - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{6}$
