Question

Jk=6x,KL=3x, and JL=27 find the value of x and KLIf K is between J an L

Answer 1

K is between J and L.

So we can write JK + KL = JL
As given JK = 6x , KL = 3x and JL = 27

`6x + 3x = 27`

Now we can combine 6x and 3x.


`9x = 27`

On dividing both sides by 9.


`(9x)/(9) = (27)/(9)`


`x = 3`.

So the value of JK = 6*3 = 18

value of KL = 3*3 = 9
