We have JM=ML due to the relation between sides and angles
Set 3x+4 = 5x-16
=> x= 28/5
Substitute back to the equation ( either one would work be cause they are equal) : 3 ( 28/5) +4 = 20.8
We have JL = JM+ML
=> JL = 20.8+20.8 = 41.6

Answer:

see the explanation and the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$-2(x+1)=8$ ----> given

Divide by -2 both sides

$-2\frac{(x+1)}{-2} =\frac{8}{-2}$ ----> by Division Property of Equality

Simplifying

$x+1=-4$

Subtract 1 both sides

$x+1-1=-4-1$ ----> by Subtraction Property of Equality

Simplifying

$x=-5$
