Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
JK =5x+17,
KL = x -1,
JL=7x-9
We need to find the range of possible values for x.
It can be assumed that K is a mid point of JL.
JL = JK + KL
Putting all the values,
7x-9 = 5x+17 + x -1
Taking like terms together,
7x-5x-x = 17-1+9
x = 25
So, the value of x is 25.
The formula of the line is
y=mx + b
The likes goes through the point (0,0)
that means that y-int = 0, b=0
y=mx
So we need to find only slope.

The answer is: B
Hope this helped!
I suppose what makes this question annoying is that there is the question mark so what i'll do first is substitute the question mark with x. also, there are annoying parenthesis so we'll first eliminate the ones we don't need. now we just have to solve for x.
-3.4 + (-8 + 2) = (x + (-8)) + 2
adding a negative number is subtracting that number so x + (-8) = x - 8
-3.4 + 2 - 8 = x - 8 + 2
-3.4 -6 = x - 6
x = -3.4
make sure you are aware that the negative sign belongs to the number after it so -2 + 4 is not -(2+4) = -6 but rather 4 - 2 = 2.
let me know if you have any questions!
