see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

JM=JL+LM

Solve for JL

JL=JM-LM

we have

JM=(5x-8)\\LM=(2x-6)

substitute

JL=(5x-8)-(2x-6)

JL=5x-8-2x+6

JL=3x-2

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

JL=3x-2

Find the slope of the line with the given equation. Show your work.<br> 6x – 2y = 18
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Currently the equation 6x - 2y = 18 is in standard form. Convert the standard form equation into a slope-intercept form and we can find the slope easily.

Solve for y.

6x - 2y = 18
-2y        = 18 - 6x <-- Subtract 6x from each side. This is to isolate the 2y term
2y / -2  = \frac{18 - 6x}{2} <-- Divide each side by 2. This it to
                                                               get rid of the 2 coefficient.
y = -9 + 3x

Rearrange the right-hand side a bit.

y = -9 + 3x becomes y = 3x - 9

Now it is in slope-intercept form.
The slope is the coefficient of the x variable.

So, 3 is the slope.

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 4x - 2. The perimeter of the triangle is 95. Find x
adell [148]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

sides of triangle measure: 'x', '4x-2' and '4x-2' since isosceles means both legs are equal

perimeter is the sum of all sides, so set up equation:

95 = 4x - 2 + 4x - 2 + x

95 = 8x - 4 + x

95 = 9x - 4

99 = 9x

x = 11
