Answer:
The expression represents JL is<u> 3x - 2</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
JM = 5x – 8 and LM = 2x – 6.
Now, to find expression represents JL.
JM = JL + LM
<em>Subtracting both sides by LM we get:</em>
JM - LM = JL.
JL = JM - LM
Now, putting the expression to get JL:
Therefore, the expression represents JL is 3x - 2.

The glee club could have 6 members so the 48 classical CDs would be divided into 8 and the 42 show tunes could be divided into 7
There are two ways you could go about solving this.
You could divide the length of the base (6mm) by 2 and use that to find the area or you could find the area of the whole triangle using 6mm and divide that by 2.
I will use the first method I described:
base = 6/2
base = 3 mm
height = 5.2 mm
area = bh/2
area = (3 * 5.2)/2
area = 7.8 square mm
(don't forget your units)
Using the other method would look like this:
area = bh/2
b = 6
h = 5.2
area = (6 * 5.2)/2
area = 15.6 square mm
area/2 = 7.8 square mm
As you can see either method yields the same result.
Hope this helped.
Cheers and good luck,
Brian
