Answer:

MK = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle means that the angles are all 90 degrees, so all the sides are not tilted in any direction. Meaning the JL = MK, therefore:

2x + 5 = 7x - 40

subtract 5 from both sides

2x = 7x - 45

subtract 7x from both sides

-5x = -45

divide by -5

x = 9

Now input 9 into the equation

MK = 7(9) - 40 = 63 - 40 = 23

NEED RN, WORTH 20! What is the value of x?

Answer:

$x = 5.625$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Make an expression

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{7.5}$

Step 2: Cross Multiply

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{7.5}$

$4 * x = 7.5 * 3$

$4x = 22.5$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4

$4x / 4 = 22.5 / 4$

$x = 5.625$

Answer: $x = 5.625$
