T is the midpoint of pq where pt=3x-3 and tq=5x-7 find x

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

P-----------------------T----------------------Q

         (3x-3)                   (5x-7)

Since T is the midpoint we know that PT and TQ are equal

Just solve the equation: 3x-3 = 5x-7

now move the x to one side

(I subtracted the 3x)

then get the 2x by itself

lastly, divide by 2 to get x by itself

step-by-step explanation: examine the two-step equation.

+  

x

4

= 2

which property of operations allows you to add the same constant term to both sides?

multiplication property of equality

division property of equality

addition property of equality

subtraction property of equality
