Distribute 2 to x and -2, and -6 to x and -2
2(x - 2) = 2x - 4
-6(x - 2) = -6x + 12
2x - 4 = 4x - 6x + 12
Simplify. Combine like terms
2x - 4 = (4x - 6x) + 12
2x - 4 = -2x + 12
Isolate the x. Add 4 to both sides, and 2x to both sides
2x (+2x) - 4 (+4) = -2x (+2x) + 12 (+4)
2x + 2x = 12 + 4
Simplify
4x = 16
Isolate the x. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4
4 is your answer for x.
hope this helps
Answer: JL = 25
Step-by-step explanation: Segment JM is the total measure of the line segment and it equals 45.
Suppose first segment JK measures d.
The total ratio is the sum of each part
d + 4d + 4d = 9d
The sum of each part corresponds to the total measure of the line segment. Then:
9d = 45
d = 5
Segment JL is
JL = d + 4d
JL = 5d
JL = 5.5
JL = 25
Segment JL measures 25 units.
