Because M is the midpoint of segment JK, JM=MK.

Now, substitute, and you will get 5x-10=x+14.
You can easily solve from here.


5x-10=x+14
5x-x-10=x-x+14
4x-10=14
4x-10+10=14+10
4x=24
4x/4=24/4
x=6

Since we now know x=6 and the two segments are congruent, both JM and MK are 6.

JM+MK= 6+6=12, therefore JK=12.

Of 1800 students enrolled in school 55% are girls. of the girls attending this school 30% take the bus to school
leonid [27]
55% of 1800 = 0.55(1800) = 990...so there are 990 girls in the school

30% of 990 = 0.30(990) = 297...so there are 297 girls who take the bus
