Point M is the midpoint of segment RT. RM=x and RT=4x-6. Find the value of x.
-----
Draw the line segment RT
Sketch M at the midpoint.
Note: RM = MT
Equation:
2x = 4x-6
2x= 6
x = 3

"Point M is the midpoint of segment RT" so that means RM = MT and RM+MT = RT
RM+MT = RT
RM+RM = RT ... plug in RM = MT
2*RM = RT
2*RM = RT
2*x = 4x-6 ... plug in RM=x and RT=4x-6
2x - 4x = -6
-2x = -6
x = -6/(-2)
x = 3
Answer: x = 3
