Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

A man (M) is standing halfway between a tree (T) and a lamppost (L). What is the value of x.

TM = (2x + 8)

ML = (3x - 2)

Since, a man M is standing halfway between a tree and a lamppost,

measure of TM = measure of ML

(2x + 8) = (3x - 2)

3x - 2x = 8 + 2

x = 10

Therefore, x = 10 will be the answer.
