Answer 1

the length of JK is 7

This is because JK + IJ = IK which means 2x-1+3x-5=3x+2
When you simplify this you will get x=4
You then plug 4 into your equation for JK so 2(4)-1 which equals 7

Answer 2

If IK is the whole length of the line segment, then IJ + JK = IK.

IJ + JK = IK

(3x - 5) + (2x - 1) = (3x + 2)

3x + 2x - 5 - 1 = 3x + 2

5x - 6 = 3x + 2

2x - 6 = 2

2x = 8

x = 4

Now that we know the value of x, we can plug this value back into the expression for JK and evaluate.

JK = 2x - 1

JK = 2(4) - 1

JK = 8 - 1

JK = 7

Hope this helps!
