You have to multiply both of the numbers in the parenthesis and then multiply them again them
Ex: 4 x 4 = 16
(2x2) x (2x2)
4 x 4 =16
Your answer is simple, it's x = 0
X=4. If k is the midpoint then JK is equal to KL. Since JK is 7 then KL is also 7 meaning JK is 14. JK is represented by the expression 4x-2 so you just set that expression equal to 14 and solve for x. Hope this helped!
