I am to find the reactions at A. Am I doing this right? Do I also need to find Ax? If I do, would it just be Ax - 400cos30 = 0?

Homework Help Overview
The discussion revolves around determining the reactions at point A in a structural system, specifically focusing on the calculation of Ax and the method for finding a variable x related to the system's geometry.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Mathematical reasoning
Approaches and Questions Raised
- Participants are attempting to find the reactions at point A and are questioning whether Ax needs to be calculated. There is discussion about the relationship between Ax and a force component, as well as the method used to determine the value of x.
Discussion Status
Some participants have confirmed the need to find Ax and are discussing the equations used to calculate x. There is a mix of agreement and clarification regarding the calculations presented, but no explicit consensus has been reached on the correctness of the methods.
Contextual Notes
Participants are working under the assumption that certain calculations and relationships are correct, but there are indications of uncertainty regarding specific values and methods used in the calculations.

My bad. I used this following equation to find x.
300(20) = 100x + (400sin30)x
Is that the correct way of finding x?
