Answer 1

Answer:

JL = 62 (units)

Step-by-step explanation:

OK, Here we can use the part whole postulates theorem to assist us:

JL consists of parts JK + KL such that, through substitution,

5x + 2 = 27 + ( 3x - 1 )

Here we can solve for x to determine 5x + 2, and thus the value of JL:

5x + 2 = 27 + 3x - 1

2x + 2 = 27 - 1

2x + 2 = 26

2x = 24

x = 12

Substitute the value of x for 5x + 2, to get JL:

JL = 5 (12) + 2

JL = 60 + 2

JL = 62 (units)
