Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint of a segment, add the lengths and divide by 2

If y is the midpoint the 2 parts have to be equal.

XY = YZ

2(3x+1) = 5x+22

Distribute

6x+2 = 5x+22

Subtract 5x from each side

6x-5x +2 = 5x-5x+22

x+2 =22

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2=22-2

x=20
