Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that point X is the intersection point of the medians. Then ...

  MQ = 3XQ

  3x -3 = 3(2x -6)

  3x -3 = 6x -18 . . .  eliminate parentheses

  15 = 3x . . . . . . . . . add 18-3x

  5 = x . . . . . . . divide by 3

Now, we can find XQ:

  XQ = 2x -6 = 2(5) -6

  XQ = 4
