I think the answer is X=-9
Giving this a shot to see if I’m correct. If not, I apologize (just trying to help).
Since JM = 4x - 29
and JK + KL + LM = JK
Where JK = 6
KL = 13
LM = 2x - 18
Plug the given values for each segment:
JK + KL + LM = JK
6 + 13 + 2x - 18 = 4x - 29
Add 29 to both sides:
6 + 13 + 2x - 18 + 29 = 4x - 29 + 29
6 + 13 + 2x - 18 + 29 = 4x
Subtract 2x from both sides:
6 + 13 + 2x - 18 + 29 - 2x = 4x - 2x
6 + 13 - 18 + 29 = 2x
Combine like terms:
19 - 18 + 29 = 2x
30 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
30/2 = 2x/2
15 = x
Double-check whether the value of x provides a true statement, by plugging its value into the equation:
JK + KL + LM = JK
6 + 13 + 2(15) - 18 = 4(15) - 29
19 + 30 - 18 = 60 - 29
31 = 31 (True statement).
Therefore, x = 15.

Answer:
-16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sequence:
b(n)=b(n−1)−7, where b(1)=−2
b(2)=b(2−1)−7
=b(1)−7
=-2-7
b(2)=-9
Therefore, the 3rd term of the sequence
b(3)=b(3−1)−7
=b(2)-7 (Recall b(2)=-9 from above)
=-9-7
b(3)=-16
The 3rd term of the sequence is -16.
I’m pretty sure the correct answer is C
