Answer: 3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
My explanation is if you were to write this down, i drew "J", "K", "L", and "M" down from left to write on a line w/ points and then i wrote that " J M " = 5 x - 8, and that " L M " = 2 x - 6, and then subtracted ( 5 x - 8 ) by ( 2 x - 6 ) which would look like this:
( 5 x - 8 ) - ( 2 x - 6 )
The reason i subtracted the total length of the entire number line is because the length of " L M " is part of the total length so you would have to subtract in order to find " J L " because then you wouldn't have to have " L M ". The correct answer is "3 x - 2"
