JK where T is the midpoint. J >>>>> T >>>>> K.

JK = 5x - 3
JT = 2x + 1

Because T is the midpoint, it means that JT = TK
So, JT + TK = JK

(2x + 1) + (2x + 1) = 5x - 3
4x + 2 = 5x - 3
4x - 5x = -3 - 2
-x = -5
x = 5

JK = 5x - 3
JK = 5(5) - 3
JK = 25 -3
JK = 22

The length of JK is 22.

2 less then 3 times a number is 9

$\huge\boxed{\text{As an expression:}\ 3x-2=9}$

$\huge\boxed{\text{Solved for x:}\ x=\frac{11}{3}}$

Let's start with " $3$ times a number". We will use $x$ to represent the number. $3x$

" $2$ less than" is next. $-2$

Finally, "is $9$ ". $=9$

Put it all together to get an expression. $\boxed{3x-2=9}$

Now, let's solve for the unknown number.

Add $2$ on both sides of the equation. $3x=11$

Divide both sides of the equation by $3$ to isolate $x$ . $x=\boxed{\frac{11}{3}}$
