Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

JK =5x+17,

KL = x -1,

JL=7x-9

We need to find the range of possible values for x.

It can be assumed that K is a mid point of JL.

JL = JK + KL

Putting all the values,

7x-9 = 5x+17 + x -1

Taking like terms together,

7x-5x-x = 17-1+9

x = 25

So, the value of x is 25.
