JK where T is the midpoint. J >>>>> T >>>>> K.
JK = 5x - 3
JT = 2x + 1
Because T is the midpoint, it means that JT = TK
So, JT + TK = JK
(2x + 1) + (2x + 1) = 5x - 3
4x + 2 = 5x - 3
4x - 5x = -3 - 2
-x = -5
x = 5
JK = 5x - 3
JK = 5(5) - 3
JK = 25 -3
JK = 22
The length of JK is 22.
We start with his golf balls. He has four, so three times that number is 12. He has 12 baseballs. If we subtract 5 from 12, we can find how many tennis balls he has. So, Wyatt has 7 tennis balls.
After 12 years
3500 * 2 = 7000
after 24 years
7000 * 2 = 14000
14000 : 3500 = 4
so the answer is 24 years
Since it is an equilateral triangle, all of the sides are the same length.
So, x=14 :)
Hope this helps!
