Tallahassee was established as the capitol of Florida because it was between Pensacola and St. Augustine. The distance from Pensacola to Tallahassee is 190 miles. The distance from Tallahassee to St. Augustine can be represented as (5x + 5) miles. The distance from Pensacola to St. Augustine can be represented as (9x + 35) miles. Is Tallahassee the midpoint of Pensacola and St. Augustine?Tallahassee was established as the capitol of Florida?
I can tell you it takes me three hours to get to Pensacola and St Augustine both, if that helps, lol.
OK let's dissect:
(9x+35)-(5X+5)= 4X+30
4X+30= 190 so x = 40 (40x4+30=190)
9x40+35= 395
5x40+5= 205
So NO, not exactly the midpointTallahassee was established as the capitol of Florida?
Holly Molley! Good luck!
