Answer:
D) 54 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Centroid Theorem to solve this problem, which states that the centroid of a triangle is
of the distance from each of the triangle's vertices to the midpoint of the opposite side.
Therefore,
is
of the distance from
to
, since the latter is the midpoint of the side opposite to
. We know this because
belongs to
, so
must be
's midpoint due to the fact that by definition, the centroid of a triangle is the intersection of a triangle's three medians (segments which connect a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the side opposite to it).
We can then write the following equation:

Substituting
into the equation gives us:

Solving for
, we get:

(Multiply both sides of the equation by
to get rid of
's coefficient)
(Simplify)
(Symmetric Property of Equality)
Therefore, the answer is D. Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
5(3x + 4) = 23
Distribute
15x+20 = 23
Subtract 20 from each side
15x+20-20 = 23-20
15x = 3
Divide by 15
15x/15 = 3/15
x = 1/5
When you expand the equation, you will have
9x + 9=25 + x
Next you have to collect like terms
+x will go over the equality sign to become -x. The same applies to +9
9x - x=23 - 9
9x minus x is 8x
8x=14
Divide both sides by 8
x=14/8
You will have 1 6/8
6 is the remainder while 1 is the number of times 8 divided 14.
In decimal, it will be 1.75
Hope that helped. Good luck
Y = -3(2) + 11
y = -6 + 11
y = 5
Answer is a) y = -3x + 11 , when x is 2 y is 5
