M is the Midpoint of segment PQ. If PQ = 30 and PM = 3x, find the VALUE OF X

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
M is the midpoint, therefore PM = MQ and:
Substitute values and solve for x:
See m is the midpoint .
PM=3x=QM
Now
[tex]\\ \rm\longmapsto PM+QM=PQ[/tex]
[tex]\\ \rm\longmapsto 3x+3x=30[/tex]
[tex]\\ \rm\longmapsto 6x=30[/tex]
[tex]\\ \rm\longmapsto x=\dfrac{30}{6}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \rm\longmapsto x=5[/tex]
