Answer:

KL=14 units

Explanation:

we know that

JL=JK+KL ----> equation A

we have

JK=7x+5

JL=26

KL=5x+9

substitute the given values in the equation A and solve for x

26=(7x+5)+(5x+9)

26=(12x+14)

12x=26-14

12x=12

x=1

Find the value of KL

KL=5x+9

substitute the value of x

KL=5(1)+9=14 units
