K is the midpoint of JL. If JK = 7x + 4 and KL = 12x - 21, what is the length of JL?

2 answers:

7 0

Midpoint means the segments beside it aer equal measure
therefor
JK=KL
7x+4=12x-21
minus 7x both sides
4=5x-21
add 21 both sides
25=5x
divide oth sides by 5
5=x

LJ=2(JK)=2(KL)
find either JK or KL

7x+4
7(5)+4
35+4
39=JK

double taht
39*2=78

JL=78 units

JL = KL
7x+4=12x-21
25 = 5x
x=5
JK = 39
KL = 39
JL = 78

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles = 180

K + L = 180

137 + 3x - 5 = 180

132 + 3x = 180

3x = 180 - 132

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16

Use Fermat's Little Theorem to determine 7^542 mod 13.

m_a_m_a [10]

$a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \pmod p$ where $p$ is prime, $a\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $a$ is not divisible by $p$ .

$7^{13-1}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\7^{12}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\\\542=45\cdot12+2\\\\7^{45\cdot 12}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\7^{45\cdot 12+2}\equiv 7^2 \pmod {13}\\7^{542}\equiv 49 \pmod{13}$
