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

Answer:
the total amount of animals in McDonald's farm is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found the attached image:
McDonald can earn:
15 cows x $250 = $3,750
2 horses x $250 = $500
20 sheep x $200 = $4,000
25 goats x $200 = $5,000
17 chickens x $50 = $850
total = $14,100
x = 85 degrees and
y = 45 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The angle for a straight line is 180°. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. These two statements are required to solve this problem.
The angles of x° and 95° are on a single straight line.
So
So the angle of x is 85°.
Step 2:
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°.
So
So the angle of y is 45°.
