Finding equivalent resistance

Hi, in example 27, I don't understand how the current through the middle 5 ohm resistor is assumed to be 2x-i, I know that we can use KCL for the junction but it assumes either i-x for the top right 10 ohm resistor or 2x-i for the middle 5 ohm one, how can these assumptions be explained? Is it because of any type of symmetry? Any other way to do these kind of problems? Thank you

Symmetry only And dw they mostly ask symmetrical questions If by chance they do ask non symmetrical use nodal analysis

Thank you, nodal analysis means to assume voltages and solve right

just use delta star conversion for net resistance
