Answer:
JL = 68
Step-by-step explanation:
JM = ML
Hence, 3x + 4 = 5x - 16
Subtract 3x from both sides
4 = 2x - 16
Add 16 to both sides
20 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
10 = x
Now we want to find JL
Note that JL = JM + ML
JM = 3x + 4 and x = 10
Substitute 10 for x
3(10) + 4
Multiply
30 + 4
Add
JM = 34
Because JM = ML
We simply multiply 34 times 2 to find the length of JL
34 * 2 = 68
JL = 68
The answer is 35/2 (fraction)
Before adding dissimilar fractions (fractions with different denominator), you have to make the fractions similar first. To make the fractions similar, find the Least Common Multiple of the denominator. In this case, the LCM is 10. Then rewrite the fractions using the LCM as the denominator.
9/10 = 9/10; 4/5 = 8/10
You can now proceed with addition -
9/10 + 8/10 = 17/10 or 1 7/10

We need to first find a common denominator. This means that we need the 12 and the 3 to be the same number. We can change the 1/3 into 4/12 and see that 9/12 is larger than 4/12.
