Engineering Homework: Rx=? to get maximum power transfer at point M

AI Thread Summary
To achieve maximum power transfer at point M, the Thevenin equivalent circuit must be established, leading to the condition Rth = RL. The discussion confirms that the calculations for determining Rx are correct, emphasizing the importance of considering the two resistors in parallel. Participants agree on the methodology for solving the problem, reinforcing the approach taken. Overall, the consensus is that following these steps will yield the correct value for Rx. The focus remains on ensuring accurate calculations to validate the solution.

Hi,

after calculations I end up in the circuit below¨ (Thevenin equivalent)

By the way I think this is the way to solve, because we have 2 resistors in parallel:
