Answer:

x = - 4 or x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given R is the midpoint of AM, then

RA = MR , substitute values

x² - 16x = 80 ( subtract 80 from both sides )

x² - 16x - 80 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 20)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 20 = 0 ⇒ x = 20

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
