The value of x from the given equation is 5/3
Since the three points are collinear to U, they are on a straight line which equals 0
Then we have,
UM + UD = MD
5x+30 + 10x+20 = 3x+80
Collect like terms
5x + 10x + 50 = 3x + 80
15x - 3x = 80 - 50
12x = 30
x = 30/12 = 15/6 = 5/3
Thus, the value of x from the given equation is 5/3
