i believe it's 22.5 out of 45 to get exactly .500
in this problem what you are really looking for is which of these sets is a pathagorean triple. That means it will solve the pathagorean theorem. (a sqaured + b squared = c squared) c is always going to be the largest number or the hypotenuse. if you plug all the number sets into the theorem, only one works and that is 7, 24, 25 which is your answer.
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
There is 20 students. To find the answer you need to use porportionals and cross multiply.
