Answer: JT = 198 units

Explanation: The equation for the solution to this problem is JT + CT = CJ. We know what all of the values are, so the equation turns into (5x+8)+70 = 7x+2. This turns into 5x+78 = 7x+2. If we subtract 2 from both sides, we get 5x+76 = 7x. If we subtract 5x from both sides, we get 76 = 2x. If we divide by 2 from both sides we get 38 = x. Since x = 38, we need to substitute x for 38. JT = 5x+8, which turns into (5) • (38) + 8 which turns into 190 + 8 which equals 198. JT = 198 units.
