Question

Do y’all know the answer to this !?

Answer 1

3x - 1 = 2x + 8
x = 9

3x - 1 + 2x + 8
5x + 7
5(9) + 7
45 + 7
52

3(9) - 1 + 2(9) + 8
27 - 1 + 18 + 8
26 + 26
52

JL = 52

Answer 2

Explanation:

set jk and kl equal to each other bc they are the same length (we know this bc of the midpoint)

3x - 1 = 2x + 8

x = 9

substitute 9 in an equation

2(9) = 8 = KL

18 + 8

26 = KL

since KL is the same length as JK we can just multiply 26 * 2

JL = 52

hope this helps <3
