Question

Find x and y, given that KL and line MN are parallel. Show all work

Answer 1

X equals 9.5 y equals

Answer 2

`(|MN|)/(|NJ|)=(|KL|)/(|LJ|)\\\\(22)/(12+8)=(y)/(8)\\\\(22)/(20)=(y)/(8)\ \ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\20y=22\cdot8\\\\20y=176\ \ \ |:20\\\\\boxed{y=8.8}`


`(|MK|)/(|KJ|)=(|NL|)/(|LJ|)\\\\(x-2)/(5)=(12)/(8)\ \ \ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\8(x-2)=5\cdot12\\\\8x-16=60\ \ \ |+16\\\\8x=76\ \ \ |:8\\\\\boxed{x=9.5}`
