Use the figure to the right to find the value of PT. T is the midpoint of PQ. PT = 7x + 2 and TQ = 9x - 6 PT = = (Simplify your answer.) A

Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
PT = TQ
PT = 7x + 2
TQ = 9x - 6
7x + 2 = 9x - 6
9x - 6 = 7x + 2
9x - 7x = 2 + 6
2x = 8
x = 8 / 2
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 in PT,
PT = 7x + 2
= 7 ( 4 ) + 2
= 28 + 2
PT = 30
