Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since M is the midpoint of PQ

PM = MQ = 1/2 PQ

5x+8 = 1/2(76)

5x+8 = 38

5x = 38-8=30

x = 30/5 = 6

Answer:

  • x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First, let's revise a few definitions.</u>

  • Definition of midpoint: The point that is in the middle of a line.

<u>We know that:</u>

  • M is the midpoint of PQ
  • PM = 5x + 8
  • PQ = 76
  • 2PM = PQ

<u>Work:</u>

  • 2PM = PQ
  • => 2(5x + 8) = 76
  • => 10x + 16 = 76
  • => 10x = 76 - 16
  • => 10x = 60
  • => x = 6

Hence, the value of x is 6 units.
