Question

K is the midpoint of JL JK=3x-1 and KL=2x+8 find JL

Answer 1

Answer:

JL = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that K is the midpoint of JL.

So, JK = KL ......... (1)

Now, given that, JK =3x - 1 and KL = 2x + 8  

Therefore, from equation (1), we can write  

3x - 1 = 2x + 8

⇒ x = 9

So, JK = 3x - 1 = 3(9) -1 = 26 and KL = 2x + 8 = 2(9) + 8 = 26

Hence, JL = JK + KL = 26 + 26 = 52. (Answer)
