Final answer:

To find the value of x for which the segments JK and RS are congruent, set their lengths equal to each other and solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x for which the segments JK and RS are congruent, we need to set their lengths equal to each other:

2x-9 = -4x+30

Adding 4x and 9 to both sides gives:

6x = 39

Dividing both sides by 6 gives:

x = 6.5

Therefore, when x is equal to 6.5, the segments JK and RS are congruent.
