Sagot :

The value of x is  8.5 inches

The value of XR is 22 inches

The value of XY is 44 inches

If R is the midpoint between X and Y, it means that the length of /XR/ and /RY/ are equal

If /RY/ = 22, then /XR/ = 22 also

XR = (2x + 5) = 22

To determine the value of x , combine similar terms

2x = 22 - 5

2x = 17

x = 8.5 inches

The value of XR = 22 inches

Value of XY = 22 + 22 = 44 inches
