K is the midpoint of JL. JK = 2x + 5 and JL = 50.

Steve set the equation equal to 50 which is the entire length of JL. instead he should've set the equation equal to 25, since it's half of 50 and would represent the midpoint. he should've said 2x + 5 = 25

6x-2y=24<br> how do u solve for y

Tatiana [17]

It's <span>Diophantine equation.
First, we need to found gcd(6,(-2)):</span>
6=2*3
(-2)=(-1)*2

So, gcd(6,-2)=2
Now, the question is. Can we dived c=24, by gcd(6,-2) and in the end get integer?
Yes we can.
$\frac{24}{2} =12$
So, we can solve it.

Now is the formula:
${\begin{cases}x=x_{0}+n{\frac {b}{\gcd(a,\;b)}}\\y=y_{0}-n{\frac {a}{\gcd(a,\;b)}}\end{cases}}\quad n\in \mathbb {Z} .$

Second, we need the first pair (x0,y0)
if
x=0
then
$y=(-12)$

Third, we gonna use that formula:
${\begin{cases}x=-n}\\y=-3(4+n)}\end{case}\quad n\in \mathbb {Z} .$
Congratulations! We solve it.
