Find x if et = 3x+2 and em = 5x

Answer:x = 6Step-by-step explanation:The centroid (T) always splits the lines so one side is 2/3 and the second is 1/3 of the entire median line. This can also be written as 2x + x. That being said, ET isn't equal to EM, it's only equal to 2/3 of EM so that's what you have to write.3x + 2 = 2/3 * 5x3x + 2 = 10/3 x*3 (3x+2) = *3(10/3x)9x+6 = 10x-9x      -9xx = 6
