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
Answer:
AQ = 20 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Comparing triangle AQR to ABC,
= 
= 
cross multiply and make p the subject of formula, we have:
8p (2p+3) = 4p(6p-4)
16
+ 24p = 24 - 16p
24p + 16p = 24 - 16
40p = 8
divide through by 8p,
p = 5
Therefore, AQ = 4p
= 4 × 5
= 20
AQ = 20 units
