Check your solution by first checking the end point , in the related equation. Pick a value greater than , such as 2, to check in the inequality. Solve for x. Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable.
2 * x/100 = 8
x/100 = 4
x = 400

Answer: x = 15, ∠K = 45.7°, ∠L = 45.7°, ∠M = 88.6°
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Since ∠K ≅ ∠L, then ΔKLM is an isoceles triangle with base KL
KM ≅ LM
3x + 23 = 7x - 37
23 = 4x - 37
60 = 4x
15 = x
KM = LM = 3x + 23
= 3(15) + 23
= 45 + 23
= 68
KL = 9x - 40
= 9(15) - 40
= 135 - 40
= 95
Next, draw a perpendicular bisector KN from K to KL. Thus, N is the midpoint of KL and ΔMNL is a right triangle.
- Since N is the midpoint of KL and KL = 95, then NL = 47.5
- Since ∠N is 90°, then NL is adjacent to ∠l and ML is the hypotenuse
Use trig to solve for ∠L (which equals ∠K):
cos ∠L = 
cos ∠L = 
∠L = cos⁻¹ 
∠L = 45.7
Triangle sum Theorem:
∠K + ∠L + ∠M = 180°
45.7 + 45.7 + ∠M = 180
91.4 + ∠M = 180
∠M = 88.6
Multiply through the parentheses:
-24 + 18i + 8i + 6
18 + 26i
18 + 26i is the answer
