OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

just add these two equations

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

AD+DM=AM x+5+2x-1=AM

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

can you solve this @KatieMO

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

no that is not correct the centroid D is twice as far from A as it from M

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

AD = 2 ( DM ) x+5 = 2( 3x-5) x+5 = 6x - 10 15 = 5x x = 3 AM = AD + DM = x+5 + 3x-5 = 4x = 12

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

so answer is option D ) 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're SUREE?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

where did you get 3x-5 from?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

surely its x + 5 = 2(2x - 1) x + 5 = 4x - 2 8 = 3x x = 8/3 AM = 8/3 + 5 + 16/3 - 1 = 4 + 24/3 = 12

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

as it happened you got the correct answer!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D is the correct answer ?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

you are wrong.. @cwrw238 5+2=7 not 8

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

its x + 5 = 2(2x - 1) x + 5 = 4x - 2 7 = 3x x = 7/3 AM = 7/3 + 5 + 14/3 - 1 = 4 + 21/3 |dw:1353940718124:dw|
