Your question is incomplete, here is the complete form.

Points J, K and L are collinear with J between L and K.  If KJ = 2x - 3, LK = 9x + 7 and LJ = 4x - 8,  solve for x:

Answer:

The value of x is -6 ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ J, K, and L are collinear

→ That means they form a straight segment

∵ J is between K and L

→ That means J divides LK into two segments KJ and LJ

∴ LK = KJ + LJ

∵ LK = 9x + 7

∵ KJ = 2x - 3

∵ LJ = 4x - 8

→ Substitute them in the equation above

∴ 9x + 7 = (2x - 3) + (4x - 8)

→ Add the like terms in the right side

∵ 9x + 7 = (2x + 4x) + (-3 - 8)

∴ 9x + 7 = 6x + -11

∴ 9x + 7 = 6x - 11

→ Subtract 7 from both sides

∵ 9x + 7 - 7 = 6x - 11 - 7

∴ 9x = 6x - 18

→ Subtract 6x from both sides

∵ 9x - 6x = 6x - 6x - 18

∴ 3x = -18

→ Divide both sides by 3

∵ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-18}{3}

∴ x = -6

∴ The value of x is -6

Equation 1: 8x+2y=308x+2y=30
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Part a) We should try to eliminate the y's because the coefficients are the same

Part b) The solution is the point (6,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Which variable pair should we try to eliminate?

we have

8x+2y=30 ----> equation 1

7x+2y=24 ----> equation 2

Solve by elimination

We should try to eliminate the y's because the coefficients are the same

Part b) What is the solution to the system?

Multiply equation 2 by -1 both sides

-1(7x+2y)=-1(24)

-7x-2y=-24 -----> equation 3

Adds equation 1 and equation 3

8x+2y=30\\-7x-2y=-24\\-------\\8x-7x=30-24\\x=6

Find the value of y

8x+2y=30[/tex[tex]8(6)+2y=30

2y=30-48

y=-9

The solution is the point (6,-9)
