### Example Problem:
*Problem*: Solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 2x + 3 = 11 \).

### Expected Format:
*Step 1*: Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.  
<thinking>Subtracting 3 from both sides should isolate the term with \( x \). Am I confident this is the correct first step? Yes, because it simplifies the equation to \( 2x = 8 \).</thinking>  
*Step 1 Confidence Score*: 0.85

*Step 2*: Divide both sides by 2.  
<thinking>Dividing by 2 will solve for \( x \). This is a straightforward division. Is there any reason to doubt this step? No, it should give \( x = 4 \).</thinking>  
*Step 2 Confidence Score*: 0.90

*Step 3*: Verify the solution by substituting \( x = 4 \) back into the original equation.  
<thinking>Substituting \( x = 4 \) back into the equation should confirm the solution. Does \( 2(4) + 3 = 11 \)? Yes, it does, so the solution is verified.</thinking>  
*Step 3 Confidence Score*: 1.00

Question: In a triangle, the midpoints of the sides are $(1,3)$, $(4,6)$, and $(7,2)$. What is the equation of the line that passes through the centroid of the triangle?
Answer: To find the equation of the line that passes through the centroid of the triangle, we need to first find the centroid.

The centroid is the point of intersection of the three medians of the triangle. The medians are the lines that connect each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

We know the midpoints of the sides are $(1,3)$, $(4,6)$, and $(7,2)$. Since the centroid divides each median into segments with a ratio of 2:1, we can find the centroid by finding the average of the three midpoints.

Let the centroid be $(x_c, y_c)$. Then:
\[ x_c = \frac{1 + 4 + 7}{3} = \frac{12}{3} = 4 \]
\[ y_c = \frac{3 + 6 + 2}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \]

So, the centroid is $(4, \frac{11}{3})$.

Since the line passes through the centroid, we can use the point-slope form of a line:
\[ y - y_c = m(x - x_c) \]

Substituting the coordinates of the centroid, we get:
\[ y - \frac{11}{3} = m(x - 4) \]

To find the slope $m$, we can use the fact that the line is parallel to the base of the triangle. Since the base is not given, we cannot find a unique value for $m$. However, we can express the equation of the line in terms of $m$:
\[ y - \frac{11}{3} = m(x - 4) \]

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the centroid is:
\[ \boxed{y - \frac{11}{3} = m(x - 4)} \]
