In order to do this we must set up an equation
We are looking for the original amount she was paid, which we'll represent by the variable X
We know that $585 is X minus 10% of X
This means that $585 is 90% of X (or X times 0.90)
So, our equation is

X(0.90)=585

In order to solve this, we can divide both sides by 0.90

X=650

So, she was originally paid $650

Point K is on line segment JL. Given KL = 2x – 2, JL = 4x + 9, and
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

JL = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that K is on line segment JL, therefore:

KL + JK = JL (according to segment addition postulate)

KL = 2x - 2

JK = 5x + 2

JL = 4x + 9

Thus:

(2x - 2) + (5x + 2) = (4x + 9)

Solve for x

2x - 2 + 5x + 2 = 4x + 9

2x +5x - 2 + 2 = 4x + 9

7x = 4x + 9

Subtract 4x from both sides

7x - 4x = 4x + 9 - 4x

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}

x = 3

Find the numerical length of JL

JL = 4x + 9

Plug in the value of x

JL = 4(3) + 9 = 12 + 9 = 21
