Answer:

If JL = 16, we will get JK = 7

Option A is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

K is between J and L

JK = 3x – 5, and KL = 2x + 1.

IfJL = 16, what is JK

We know that K is between J and L it means it divides JL into JK and KL equally or we can say that adding JK and KL we can get JL

So, We can write:

JL = JK + KL\\16=3x-5+2x+1

Solving the expression we can find first value of x and then value of JK

16=3x-5+2x+1\\16=5x-4\\16+4=5x\\20=5x\\x=\frac{20}{5}\\x=4

So, we get x = 4

Now, put the value of x in JK=3x-5 to get value of JK

JK = 3x-5\\JK=3(4)-5\\JK = 12-5\\JK=7

So, if JL = 16, we will get JK = 7

Option A is correct option.

What is 4 (5×1÷20) because I dont know lol
Whitepunk [10]
Well first we need to do whatever is in the parentheses, which in this case is: (5x1/20)

Following the order of operations (PEMDAS) we start with the multiplication, which is (5x1). We know that 5x1=5, so now we can move on to the division:

5/20, which is equal to 0.25

So now that we know the answer to the equation in the parentheses is 0.25, we can solve the whole equation.

Here is the equation simplified:

4 (0.25)

Because there is now operation indicated between the 4 and the parentheses, we can assume that multiplication is implied, so the final equation is as follows:

4x0.25=1

The final answer is: 1

Hope this helps!
