Multi-step K is the midpoint of JL, JL=4x-2, and JK=7. Find x, KL, and JL

1 answer:

7 0

If K is midpoint of JL then JK = 0.5JL

JL = 4x - 2; JK = 7

The equation:
0.5(4x - 2) = 7
2x - 1 = 7 |add 1 to both sides
2x = 8 |divide both sides by 2
x = 4

JL = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14

KL = JK = 7

You're not gonna like it. I think both I and III are true, so none of the choices shown. Choice E: I and III.

I. H and J are points, and any two points are on some line, so collinear. TRUE.

II. L is between R and K. Betweeness needs collinearity, which we don't have here. FALSE.

III. R, J and N are coplanar. Any three points lie in some plane. TRUE.
