Move all the x's to one side of the equation. Subtract both sides by 3x
Subtract both sides by 5 to eliminate the "5" on the left side
Multiple/divide (doesn't matter) both sides by -1
That's the solution. Hope this helps! :)
Which situation can be represented by 3s = 5s - 6 ?

Answer:
JL = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that K is on line segment JL, therefore:
KL + JK = JL (according to segment addition postulate)
KL = 2x - 2
JK = 5x + 2
JL = 4x + 9
Thus:
Solve for x
Subtract 4x from both sides
Divide both sides by 3
Find the numerical length of JL
Plug in the value of x
