Answer 1

Answer:

CM = 3

MG = 15

CG = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

CM = x

MG = x + 12

C to G equals 4x + 6

CG = 4x + 6

And CM + MG (CG) also equals  2x + 12

CM + MG = 2x + 12

4x + 6 = 2x + 12 (solve for x)

Subtract 2x from both sides.

2x + 6 = 12

Subtract 6 from both sides.

2x = 6

Divide by 2

x = 3

CM = (3)

MG = 3 + 12 = 15

CG = 4(3) + 6 = 18
