Answer:

JL = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that K is on line segment JL, therefore:

KL + JK = JL (according to segment addition postulate)

KL = 2x - 2

JK = 5x + 2

JL = 4x + 9

Thus:

(2x - 2) + (5x + 2) = (4x + 9)

Solve for x

2x - 2 + 5x + 2 = 4x + 9

2x +5x - 2 + 2 = 4x + 9

7x = 4x + 9

Subtract 4x from both sides

7x - 4x = 4x + 9 - 4x

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}

x = 3

Find the numerical length of JL

JL = 4x + 9

Plug in the value of x

JL = 4(3) + 9 = 12 + 9 = 21

last month john spent 75.00 dollars on games. this month he only spent 63.00. he spent ___ percent less this month
aivan3 [116]
First, subtract 63 from 75 to find out how much it decreased. 
75 - 63 = 12 
Divide 12 by 75. 
12 / 75 = 0.16
In percents, that is 16%. 
He spent 16% less this month. 
Hope this helps!

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle are three sides of two sides being equal in lengths.

If that is the case, the two opposite slanting sides which are equal, must be longer. Invariably, the third side is 12.
