If K is midpoint of JL then JK = 0.5JL
JL = 4x - 2; JK = 7
The equation:
0.5(4x - 2) = 7
2x - 1 = 7 |add 1 to both sides
2x = 8 |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = 4</u>
<u>JL</u> = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = <u>14</u>
<u>KL</u> = JK =<u> 7</u>
8 because you do the multiplication which is 20 and multiply 20 by 1/2 which is 10 then add 4 which is 14. then 22-14 is 8.
Answer:
a) (2+8)+9
b) (3+7)+5+4
c) (4+16)+2
d) (31+9)+4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 2+9+8
2 and 8 add up to 10, so we regroup them in parentheses
(2+8)+9
b) 3 + 5 + 4 + 7
3 and 7 add up to 10, so we regroup them in parentheses
(3+7)+5+4
c) 4 + 2 + 16
4 and 16 add up to 20 which is a multiple of 10, so we regroup them in parentheses
(4+16)+2
d) 31 + 4 + 9
31 and 9 add up to 40 which is a multiple of 10, so we regroup them in parentheses
(31+9)+4
30 millimeters is the difference between the two heights
