If M is the midpoint, then LM = MN
3x - 2= 2x +1
x = 3
So LM = 3x - 2 = 9 -2 = 7
LM = 7
<span>Try simplifying the number to start. For example, if the population of the town is 100 people and the population growth is 2%, then there will 102 people in the town next year (Y=1). Continue adding 2% to the population for each of 10 years to get the answer for the 10th year. Growth would be considered 100% of current population plus 2% additional for a total of 102% - convert 102% to to a factor and you will have your formula Y=15,200*1.02;18,529</span>

<span>A freight train completes its journey of 150 miles 1 hour earlier if its original speed is increased by 5 miles/hour. What is the train’s original speed?
***
let x=original speed
x+5=increased speed
travel time=distance/speed
..
lcd:x(x+5)
150(x+5)-150x=x(x+5)
150x+750-150x=x^2+5x
x^2+5x-750=0
(x-25)(x+30)=0
x=25
What is the train’s original speed? 25 mph</span>
