Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53 (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a - 3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
5b = 80
b = 80/5
b = 16
Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37
The numbers are 16 and 37</span>

Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
When secants meet, the product of the length of the pieces from the meeting point to the two circle intersection points is the same for all.
KL·KM = KJ·KC
Assuming the marks inside the circle apply only to the lengths inside the circle:
8(8+x+5) = 7(7+2x+1)
104 +8x = 56 +14x
48 = 6x
8 = x
Then the measure of MK is ...
MK = x+13 = 8+13
MK = 21
