Hi! I'm happy to help!

Our total line is JL (4x), and it is split into two parts: JK, and KL. We have our values, and we know that JK+KL=JL, so we can substitute our values and solve for x:

4x=(2x+3)+(x)

4x=3x+3

To solve for x, we have to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, let's subtract 3x from both sides so that we can isolate x:

4x=3x+3

-3x -3x

x=3

<u>So, our x=3, which means that KL=3.</u>

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

Answer:

x = 5 $\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the outer right triangle

and tan30° = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$

tan30° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{x}{15}$

Multiply both sides by 15

15 × tan30° = x

x = 15 × $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$ = 5 $\sqrt{3}$
