Take -5x + y =13 and rearrange for y:
y=13+5x

Substitute into other equation for y:
-3x+3(13+5x)=3

Multiply out brackets:
-3x+39+15x=3

Simplify:
12x+39=3

Rearrange for x:
12x=-36
x=-3

Substitute back into y=13+5x:
y=13+5(-3)
y=13-15
y=-2

What is the length of line segment KJ?

Karolina [17]

Please consider the attached file.

We can see that triangle JKM is a right triangle, with right angle at M. Segment KM is 6 units and segment MJ is 3 units. We can also see that KJ is hypotenuse of right triangle.

We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve for KJ as:

$KJ^2=KM^2+MJ^2$
