Answer:

Segment JK = 15x+5

Explanation:

In order to find the length of segment JK when we have the lengths of segments JM and MK, we simply need to add the lengths of JM and MK together.

Given:

  • Length of segment JM = 7x + 5
  • Length of segment MK = 8x

To find segment JK, add the lengths of JM and MK:


\sf JK = JM + MK


\sf JK = (7x + 5) + 8x

Now, simplify the expression by combining like terms:


\sf JK = 7x + 5 + 8x


\sf JK = (7x + 8x) + 5


\sf JK = 15x + 5

So, the length of segment JK is 15x + 5.
