If K is midpoint of JL then JK = 0.5JL
JL = 4x - 2; JK = 7
The equation:
0.5(4x - 2) = 7
2x - 1 = 7 |add 1 to both sides
2x = 8 |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = 4</u>
<u>JL</u> = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = <u>14</u>
<u>KL</u> = JK =<u> 7</u>
8 and 4 are the main numbers
Answer:
1) x = 18 2) x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Edit: Decided to solve the second too! :)
1)
12/16 = x/(x+6)
12x + 72 = 16x
72 = 4x
x = 18
2)
(-4 + 4x)/64 = 27/72
-288 + 288x = 1,728
288x = 2,016
x = 7
