`JL=3x-2`

Explanation:

Given : If JM=5x-8 and LM=2x-6.

To find : Which expression represents JL?

Solution :

To analyse the question refer the attached figure below.

We know that,

`JM=JL+LM`

Here, JM=5x-8 and LM=2x-6

Substitute the values,

`5x-8=JL+2x-6`

`JL=5x-8-2x+6`

`JL=3x-2`

Therefore,
`JL=3x-2`
