Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is equilateral then sides are congruent.
Equate any 2 sides and solve for x
13x + 5 = 8x + 35 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
5x + 5 = 35 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
5x = 30 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 6
JK = (13 × 6) + 5 = 78 + 5 = 83
KL = (17 × 6) - 19 = 102 - 19 = 83
JL = (8 × 6) + 35 = 48 + 35 = 83
ΔJKL is equilateral with side = 83
