Question

Solve for x. Please Help!

Answer 1

Answer: x = 3 (choice D)

================================

The smaller segments IJ and JK combine to form the larger segment IK

IK = IJ + JK

-2+7x = (2+3x) + (8)

-2+7x = 2+3x + 8

-2+7x = 3x+10

7x-3x = 10+2

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3

D

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2 + 7x = 2 + 3x + 8

7x - 3x = 10 + 2

4x = 12

x = 3
