Question

JL = 28,
KL= 5x + 6, and
JK = 3x + 6,

Answer 1

Answer:

KL = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, JL is the sum of KL and JK.  So we can say this:

JK + KL = JL

( 3x + 6 ) + ( 5x + 6 ) = 28

8x + 12 = 28

8x = 16

x = 2

So, now we can find KL:

5x + 6 = ?

5(2) + 6 = ?

10 + 6 = ?

16 = ?

So the length of KL is 16.
