Question

PLEASE HELP IM STUCK :(( K is the midpoint of JL If: JK=9x-5 KL=7x+3 Find JL.

Answer 1

Answer:  62

Explanation:

K is the midpoint of segment JL

That means the smaller pieces JK and KL are the same length.

JK = KL

9x-5 = 7x+3

9x-7x = 3+5

2x = 8

x = 8/2

x = 4

This x value leads us to:

• JK = 9x-5 = 9*4-5 = 36-5 = 31
• KL = 7x+3 = 7*4+3 = 28+3 = 31

Both smaller pieces are 31 units each, which helps confirm we have the correct x value.

Therefore, JL = JK+KL = 31+31 = 62

Answer 2

Answer:

62

Step-by-step explanation:

JL = JK + KL = 31 + 31 = 62

Hope this helps.
