Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
6 + 6 + 6 = 18
If this helps, please give me branliest! I need it.
Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50
x=0
because you must
determine the undefined range
write all numerators above the common denomonator
multiply the parenthesis
collect the alike terms
remove parenthesis
eliminate the opposites collect the like terms
set the numerator equal to 0
divide both sides by 6
check if thesolution is the defined range
if so then you would find your answer X=0
