Using the following image, solve for JI.
J
2x + 28
x + 22
5
H

Answer 1

In the given image, the length of JI is 6

Solving linear equations

From the question, we are to solve for JI

From the given image, we can write that

JI + IH = JH

Then,

2x + 28 + 5 = x + 22

Solving for x

2x + 28 + 5 = x + 22

First, collect like terms

2x - x = 22 - 28 - 5

Simplifying

x = -11

But,

JI = 2x + 28

∴ JI = 2(-11) + 28

JI = -22 + 28

JI = 6

Hence, the length of JI is 6
