Since the midpoint of XA is at 3x all of XA would be two times that so 6x

Since the midpoint of AY is 5x-6 all of AY would be 10x-12

XA is then 6x and Ay is 10x-12 sinc XA = AY we can say

6x = 10x-12 subtract 10x from both sides

-4x = -12 divide -4 from both sides

x = 3

so A. XA = 2 * 3x

B. AY = 2(5x-6), XY = XA + AY
