Can someone please explain to me how to solve this? I don't really understand how.

Step-by-step explanation:
If a point on a line is the midpoint, that means that the two segments created by the point are equal. In this case, XA = AY
We can set the two lengths equal to each-other.
Now that we know x = 6, we can solve for the lengths of each segment.
XA = 3x = 3(6) = 18
AY = 5x - 12 = 5(6) - 12 = 30 -12 = 18
XY = 3x + 5x - 12 = 8x - 12 = 8(6) - 12 = 48 - 12 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>
Part 1) The graph show two identical lines, then the system has infinitely many solutions
Part 2) The graph show two perpendicular lines.
Remember that the solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs
The intersection point is (2,6)
therefore
The system has one solution at (2,6)
Part 3) The graph show two intersecting lines at (-6,-2)
Remember that the solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs
The intersection point is (-6,-2)
therefore
The system has one solution at (-6,-2)
