Answer:

KJ = 60.

Explanation:

Given : Line GJ and HK is the perpendicular bisector.

To find : What is KJ.

Solution : We have given that

GK = 2x + 10.

KJ = 3x -15.

HK is the perpendicular bisector .

Perpendicular bisector : That bisect the line in to two equally parts.

Then GK = KJ.

2x + 10 = 3x -15.

On subtracting 3x from both sides

2x - 3x + 10 = -15.

-x + 10 = -15 .

On subtracting both side by 10 .

-x = - 15 - 10 .

-x = -25 .

On dividing by -1

x = 25 .

KJ = 3x - 15.

Kj = 3 (25) - 15 .

KJ = 75 -15

KJ = 60.

Therefore, KJ = 60.
