I am going to assume these are points across the same line. (line segments)

If so, then jk + kl = jl

If jk is 6x and kl is 3x, we can solve for x.

6x + 3x = 27 (note we subbed 27 in for jl)

9x = 27 (divide both sides by 9 to leave on x on the left)

x = 3

CHECK! sub 3 in for x in the original problem.

6 (3) + 3 (3) = 27

18 + 9 = 27

Yes! It checks. x = 3
