Step-by-step explanation:
let no. of hours be x.
45x - 12 ≥ 117
45x ≥ 129
x ≥ 2.8667 (5sf)
therefore, 3 hours (round up to next whole number).

Suppose J, K, L, M, N are points on the same line.
MK = MN + (-KN) = MN - KN = 9x - 11 - x - 3 = 8x - 14
Since LK = MK and LK = 7x - 10, then
7x - 10 = 8x - 14
8x - 7x = -10 + 14
x = 4
LJ = MK + KJ
MK = LK = 7x - 10 = 7(4) - 10 = 28 - 10 = 18
LJ = 18 + 28 = 46
I think it's 230 inches
