Answer:

The expression represents JL is<u> 3x - 2</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

JM = 5x – 8 and LM = 2x – 6.

Now, to find expression represents JL.

JM = JL + LM

<em>Subtracting both sides by LM we get:</em>

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.

One acute angle of a right triangle is 4 degrees larger than twice the other acute angle. what are the measures of the acute an

Anit [1.1K]

You have only two variables X and Y to signify the angles
Together they must equal 90, because its a right triangle and one angle is 90
2X+4=Y
X+Y=90
Solve for Y
Y=90-X
Set the Y's equal to each other
2X+4=90-X
Isolate the X
3X=86
X=~28.66
Y=~61.34
