Question

Really struggling with this one. Can someone help please?​

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

M is in the middle between S and T we know 2x+6 has to be the same as 3x+3 if 3x is one more x then 2x then we do 6-3 that eqauls 3 so X=3 and 2*3=6 and 6+6= 12.

Answer 2

Hey there! :D

Answer:

`\huge\boxed{SM = 12}`

SM = 2x + 6

MT = 3x + 3

M is the midpoint of SM

Write an expression to represent the length of ST:

ST = SM + MT

ST = 2x + 6 + 3x + 3

Combine like terms:

ST = 5x + 9

Since ST = 2(SM), set up another equation:

5x + 9 = 2(2x + 6)

5x + 9 = 4x + 12

Isolate the "x" variable:

5x - 4x = 12 - 9

x = 3.

Substitute in this value of "x" into the equation for SM:

2(3) + 6 = 12.
