Answers:

x = 4

RM = 7

======================================================

Explanation:

The midpoint cuts the larger segment RS in two equal halves, so RM = MS

RM = MS

x+3 = 2x-1

3+1 = 2x-x

4 = x

x = 4

RM = x+3

RM = 4+3

RM = 7

MS = 2x-1

MS = 2*4-1

MS = 7

Both RM and MS are 7 units long, which confirms our answers.

RS = RM+MS

RS = 7+7

RS = 14
