Answer:

The expression represents JL is 3x - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

JM = 5x – 8 and LM = 2x – 6.

Now, to find expression represents JL.

JM = JL + LM

Subtracting both sides by LM we get:

JM - LM = JL.

JL = JM - LM

Now, putting the expression to get JL:

$JL=5x-8-(2x-6)$

$JL=5x-8-2x+6$

$JL=3x-2.$

Therefore, the expression represents JL is 3x - 2.

*Sorry I messed up my math please read the new answer.
Use distrubitive property to get rid of parentheses. Multiply -3 by 4r and -8 to get -12r+24=36. Then zero out 24 by subtarcting 24 from both sides. You. should then have -12r=12. Divide by -12 on both sides to get r by itself. Your answer should be r=1*. Hope this helps :)
