Step-by-step explanation:
the centroid is where the medians intersect.
On each median the distance from the vertex to the centroid is twice as long as the distance from the centroid to the midpoint.

GF = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] CG = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 14 = 7
CF = CG + GF = 14 + 7 = 21
(4)
GD = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] AD = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] × 45 = 15
AG = 2 × GD = 2 × 15 = 30
(5)
GE = 2 × BG , that is
9x = 2(3x + 6) = 6x + 12 ( subtract 6x from both sides )
3x = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 4
