Answer 1

XM = 1 unit

Explanation:

It is given that, M is the midpoint in the segment.

Midpoint bisects the lines such that,

XM = MY

Put XM = x+2 and MY = 2x+3

x+2=2x+3

Taking like terms together,

x-2x=3-2

-x=1

x = -1

Put x = -1 in XM = x+2

(-1) + 2 = 1 = XM

So, the value of XM is 1 unit.
