Answer:

KM = 20

Explanation:

Point V is the midpoint of KM, so ...

KV = VM

2.5z = 5z -10

10 + 2.5z = 5z . . . . . add 10

10 = 2.5z . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.5z

This is sufficient to answer the question:

KV = VM = 2.5z = 10

KM = KV + VM = 10 + 10

KM = 20

_____

In this case, it is not necessary to find the value of z. If you wanted to, you could divide by the coefficient of z in the last equation:

10/2.5 = z = 4
