7+2=2+6 because 7+2=8 and 2+6 is = to 8 as well
List the factors of 24,30, and 24. Factors of 24: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24. Factors of 30: 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30. Factors of 42: 1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42. The highest number that all of these numbers is 6. Therefore, the greatest common factor of GCF of 24,30, and 42 is 6.
Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50
8 times 3 equals 23 and that is one of the answers
Price before tax = $18
Tax = 7% x $18 = 0.07 x 18 = $1.26
Price after tax = $18 + $1.26 = $19.26
Answer: $19.26
