Since Y is the midpoint of MN, that means
MY = YN
52 = 5x - 3
Add 3 to each side
55 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5
11 = x

Since Y is the midpoint of MN, then YN must = MY which =s 52.
Thus 5x-3 = 52
5x = 55
x=11

If Y is the mid point, then MY = YN so, 5x-3 = 52.
Solve for x:
5x-3 =52 add 3 to each side
5x = 55 divide each side by 5
x = 11

MN = YN
52 = 5x-3
5x-3 = 52
5x -3+3 = 52+3
5x = 55
5x/5 = 55/5
x = 11

Draw it on a piece of paper
M_____________Y____________N
Y is at the mid point so YN=MY=5x-3=52

5x-3=52
5x=55
55/5= 11
