because it was between Pensacola and St. Augustine. The distance from Pensacola to Tallahassee can be represented as (9x+30) miles. The distance from Tallahassee to St. Augustine can be represented as (11x+5) miles. The distance from Pensacola to St. Augustine is 395 miles. Is Tallahassee the midpoint of Pensacola and St. Augustine? Show your work to support your conclusion.Tallahassee was established as the capitol of Florida?
(9x + 30) + (11x + 5) = 395
20x + 35 = 395
20x = 360
x = 18
9(18) + 30 = 192
11(18) + 5 = 203
Not at midpoint.
