Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The stuff that is yellow is the answer!
Answer:
2) 162°, 72°, 108°
3) 144°, 54°, 126°
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Multiply the equation by 2sin(θ) to get an equation that looks like ...
sin(θ) = <some numerical expression>
Use your knowledge of the sines of special angles to find two angles that have this sine value. (The attached table along with the relations discussed below will get you there.)
____
2, 3) You need to review the meaning of "supplement".
It is true that ...
sin(θ) = sin(θ+360°),
but it is also true that ...
sin(θ) = sin(180°-θ) . . . . the supplement of the angle
This latter relation is the one applicable to this question.
__
Similarly, it is true that ...
cos(θ) = -cos(θ+180°),
but it is also true that ...
cos(θ) = -cos(180°-θ) . . . . the supplement of the angle
As above, it is this latter relation that applies to problems 2 and 3.
80% of (Cost) = $68
80% is also 0.8:
0.8 x Cost = $68
dividing each side by 0.8
Cost = 68 / 0.8 = 85 = $85
