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)
