Question 655727


if {{{M}}} is the midpoint of {{{RT}}}, then {{{RM=MT}}}

given:

{{{RM = x}}} and {{{RT = 4x - 6}}} 

Find: the value of{{{ x}}}
----------------------------------------

if {{{RM = x}}}, then {{{MT = x}}}

{{{RT=RM+MT}}}

{{{4x - 6=x+x}}}..solve for {{{x}}}

{{{4x - 6=2x}}}

{{{4x -2x=6}}}

{{{2x=6}}}
