Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is x = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for (x), start by realizing that line segment IJ and line segment JK sum up to line segment IK, which equals 5. These line segments can then be turned into an equation, and the equation will look like $7+x+2x+7=5$.

Next, begin to solve the equation by combining like terms, which will look like $3x+14=5$. Then, subtract 14 from both sides of the equation, which will look like $3x=-9$, and divide both sides by 3 and simplify, which will look like $x=-3$. The final answer is x = -3.
