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

Question:

NNADVOKAT [17]

1.) 9(4) + 8(5)

36 + 40 = 74

2.) 2(3) + 8(3)

6 + 24 = 30

3.) 4(5) + 7(5)

20 + 35 = 55

4.) 10(4) + 18(5)

40 + 90 = 130

5.) 2 + 8(1/4)

2 + 2 = 4

6.) 9(1/3) + 8(1/4)

3 + 2 = 5

7.) 3(8) + 7(4)

24 + 28 = 52

8.) 12(1/4) + 16(5)

4 + 80 = 84
