0.3(4x-8)-0.5(2.4x+4)
1.2x-2.4-1.2x+2
x-0.4
Answer:
12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Point H is the intersection of the medians, so divides each median into parts with the ratio 2:1. Here, that is ...
CH : HG = 2 : 1 = CH : 6
Then CH = 2×6 = 12.

Alternatively, you could determine altitude CG from the Pythagorean theorem applied to triangle BCG. You would compute ...
CG² +GB² = BC²
CG = √(BC² -GB²) = √(19.8² -8²) = √146.7 ≈ 12.1
This is an approximation based on the fact that the value 9.9 for BF is an approximation. Based on BG and GH being integer values, the appropriate measure of BF is (√388)/2 ≈ 9.8489.
(The triangle shown cannot exist.)
When exponents are separated by a parenthesis it means you need to add them. Because the parenthesis is around the entire number then you raise everything inside the parenthesis to the outside exponent. Then anything raised by 0 as an exponent is automatically 1.
You think of this visually as 3a*3a*3a= 27a^9 is your answer
