Answer:
I'm guessing, say all of them are 20 cm, by the looks of it
Explanation + answers
Because there are lengths going from 0 to 1, the lines must mean either decimals or fractions (we'll use fractions for this.)
1. There are twelve lines from 0 and 1, which we can use as the denominator for our fraction. This means the length of each line is 1/12.
2. In order to find where K's point is at, we simply need to count until we get to it. After counting, I see that K is on point 8/12, which we can simplify to get a smaller number. If we simplify once, we get 4/6, which we can again simplify to get 2/3. This gives us the answer K is on point 8/12 or 2/3.
(2/5)+(3/(5x))=(x+5)/10
nasty fractions, we hates it forever
so
get rid of all those nasty fractions
multiply both sides by 10x
4x+6=x(x+5)
distribute
4x+6=x^2+5x
minus (4x+6) from both sides
0=x^2+x-6
factor
0=(x-2)(x+3)
set each to zero
0=x-2
2=x
0=x+3
-3=x
x=-3 and 2
