Answer:
KL = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Since K appears to be a point in JL, we need to add the lengths JK and KL and make it equal to the length of JL
2x - 2 + x - 9 = 2x + 8
Then we can solve for x from there
2x - 2 + x - 9 = 2x + 8
3x - 11 = 2x + 8 [Combine like terms]
x - 11 = 8 [Subtract 2x from both sides of the equal sign]
x = 19 [Add 11 to both sides of the equal sign]
So now that we have the value of x, in order to solve the length of KL, we need to put in the value of x into that expression
x - 9 → 19 - 9 = 10
KL = 10
Hope this helps! I apologize if I'm incorrect
