Question

If k is the midpoint of JL, JK =8x + 11 and KL =14x-1, find JL

Answer 1

Answer:

JL=54

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+11 = 14x-1

11 + 1 = 14x - 8x

12 = 6x

x = 12/6

x = 2

plug into problems

JK = 8x + 11 = 8*2 + 11 = 16+11 = 27

KL = JK = 27

solve

JL = JK + KL = 27 + 27 = 54

JL = 54
