If JKLM is an isosceles trapezoid, solve for x.
(8x – 23)
(6x + 11)°
M
L
HELPPP

Answer 1

Explanation:

J and K are equal

8x - 23 = 6x + 11 Add 23 to both sides

8x = 6x + 11 + 23 Combine the right

8x = 6x + 34 Subtract 6x from both sides

8x - 6x = 34 Combine the left

2x = 34 Divide by 2

x = 34/2

x = 17

=================================

M and L are both supplementary to J and K respectively.

J = 8x - 23

J = 8*17 - 23

J = 136-23

J = 113

K = 113

===================================

M + 113 = 180

M = 180 - 113

M = 67

L = 67
