Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
Since M is the midpoint of XY, this means that XM and MY must be equivalent from the definition of midpoint.
So:
[tex]XM=MY[/tex]
The entire length of the segment (XY) is:
[tex]XY=XM+MY[/tex]
We know that XM is equivalent to MY. Substitute MY for XM:
[tex]XY=MY+MY[/tex]
Combine like terms;
[tex]XY=2MY[/tex]
We are told that YM (or MY) is 25. So:
[tex]XY=2(25)[/tex]
Multiply:
[tex]XY=50[/tex]
So, the length of XY is 50.
And we're done!
50?
X_________M__________Y
2x + 5 = 25
x = 10 so 2(10) + 5 = 25
25 + 25 = 50
