Basically, if c is less than x or greater than x determines the role of the applied moment in the overall calculation. In the example, try plugging-in different values of c while holding all other variables constant and you will see the resulting Mx changes when c exceeds x.

Yes, this behavior is confirmed. It is because the moment adds to the reaction forces when c exceeds x. If you send the equation to the stack, you can see the IFTE logic for that case.

Thanks for making us look closer Bob.
