Having point M as midpoint of segment AB, it only shows that the length of AM is equal to the length MB. Hence, AM = MB

AM = MB
2x + 5 = 5x - 22      ⇒ substitute the values
5 + 22 = 5x - 2x      ⇒ combine like terms
27 = 3x                   ⇒ simplify and divide both sides by 3 to get the value of x
x = 9                       ⇒ Answer

Vikentia [17]
His total load is 4*125 + 2*75 + 2*50, which is 750

now, is that 750 95% of 800?

well 95% of anything is 95/100 * anything

thus, 95% of 800 is 95/100 * 800 or 0.95 * 800

now, is that less than more or equals to 750?  if it's, then  he's golden, because his load is less or equals to 95% of 800, if not, then he needs to cut down some
