Answer:

[tex]x=11[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Midpoint Theorem states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side.

so

In this problem

[tex](x+5)=\frac{1}{2}(3x-1)[/tex]

solve for x

Multiply by 2 both sides

[tex]2x+10=3x-1[/tex]

subtract 2x both sides

[tex]10=3x-1-2x[/tex]

[tex]10=x-1[/tex]

Adds 1 both sides

[tex]x=11[/tex]
