Its for math ineed to know
If CM=3x+6 and CE= x+2 then what is x?

Sorry but you drawing is not clear. I have no idea where the point E is. I will guess that you have drawn three medians that are supposed to be concurrent at E.
The medians meet at a point that is 2/3 of the length of each median. Thus CE = 2/3 CM
So x+2 = 2/3(3x+6) = 2(x+2)
But this is impossible as it implies 1=2.
Therfor my assumption about the medians is wrong ,or your diagram has some errors.

There's not enough information to solve this problem as is. All you can deduce is that EM is twice as long as CE. Perhaps if you knew some of the other measurements.

Whoever answers it could you give a brief subsciption of how you did. Cause im just as mind boggled as the asker.

Is there any more information?
What kind of triangle is it?
Is there possibly a little more to the drawing?
