Answer:

XM = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since MZ is the angle bisector of ∠YZM, then the following ratios are equal

[tex]\frac{ZY}{ZX}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{YM}{XM}[/tex]

substitute the given values into the equation

[tex]\frac{7}{11}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3.5}{XM}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

7XM = 38.5 ( divide both sides by 7 )

XM = 5.5
